Lyrics
When Love Was All We Had
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We used to sit and talk about the good things life had to give
Admired the ones who had it all and envied the way they lived
We used to say just to be that way would make all our dreams come true
We didn't know then we had more when we had only me and you
Diamonds and furs cars marked his and hers can't catch you when you fall
And they don't compare with the love that we shared back when we had it all
We wanted to see just how far we could go but we've gone too far too bad
For we had more so much more when love was all we had
We wanted to see just how far we could go but we've gone too far too bad
For we had more so much more when love was all we had
