Once upon a time you and I were so in love The whole wide world was gay and happy then I dont know how or why our love began to die Till it vanished like a straw in the wind Were side by side but were lonely together Clinging to the pieces of a vow Everybody used to say we were perfect together But were lonely together now Its a mighty big roof that weve nailed upon our house For it stretches from your world to mine It keeps out the rain but it cant keep out the pain And the tears that I see falling all the time Were side by side but were lonely together Clinging to the pieces of a vow Everybody used to say we were perfect together But were lonely together now Oh, were lonely together now
