The Way It Used to Be

This is the story of a man

Who took for granted everything he had

How he let it all just slip away

Never to return again

Now 20 years have come and gone

And still he wonders what he did so wrong

And how that he can win back her heart

And finally step outside of the dark

He buys fresh roses every day

Her favorite flowers, so she used to say

And now the memories are all that he has left

And? to drink himself to death

Chorus:

This is the story of a man(This is the story of a man)

Who took for granted everything he had(everything he had)

How he let it all just slip away(he let it slip away)

Never to return again(to return again)
