That Wonderful Life Of Mine

Remember when we used to share
Our thoughts, our dreams, our every care?
But those days are no longer there
as they were not that long ago.

Oh, the kisses that we used to place
Sweetly upon one another's face.
They've disappeared without a trace.
Where they went, I just don't know.

The flames of love are dying out,
No soft words spoken because we shout.
Our future seems so much in doubt.
Or, can we turn it all around?

Just what happened to
The life that we once knew
Back when things were fine?
What happened to that life of mine?
That wonderful life of mine?

Nowadays we do not touch,
I miss those hugs so very much.
All the making love and such,
Are they just precious memories?

We used to talk the hours away.
Now there's not much we have to say.
Is it just a part of yesterday,
Or can we work this through?

Oh, the way we used to dance!
Do you still feel we have a chance
Of getting back our romance
To the way that it used to be?

Just what happened to
The life that we once knew
Back when things were fine?
What happened to that life of mine?
That wonderful life of mine?
