Debra Davis The Way Things Used To Be
			
It’s you and me, and so much in between 
All tangled up in the passage of time 
It’s trust and blame, and feelings with no name 
Fighting it out in the back of my mind 
And I’m looking for you in each familiar place 
Dreaming of you but I come up empty when I wake 
Oh how I reach, for the way things used to be 
Oh I believe, in the way things used to be 
Oh how I need, to find you next to me 
The way things used to be 
It’s hope and fear both ringing in my ear 
The bells of the lonely shaking my soul 
It’s hide and seek, the words we never speak 
The heart is a traveler headed for home 
And I’m looking for you in each familiar place 
Dreaming of you but I come up empty when I wake 
Oh how I reach, for the way things used to be 
Oh I believe, in the way things used to be 
Oh how I need, to find you next to me 
The way things used to be 
A word, a call, am I climbing just to fall 
The light’s in your eyes, am I fading from view? 
And I’m looking for you in each familiar place 
Dreaming of you but I come up empty when I wake 
Oh how I reach, for the way things used to be 
Oh I believe, in the way things used to be 
Oh how I need, to find you next to me 
The way things used to be
