You look at me, I look at you

We need our song to pull us through
    DbDb    AbAb               DbDb
But the melody is changing and the words all slip away

Like we could in the good old days

I remember the way you used to please me
    DbDb      AbAb               DbDb
But the time has come upon us now to go our separate ways

'Cause we cannot sing our good old song

Like we could in the good old days

And you will dance on the highest hill in the night
