Does It Still Play
Does our love song still play long in your head,
do the words start to change after all this time?
Have you grown weary of tasting the same wine,
does boredom make you lay down in a different bed?
Do the words start to change after all this time?
could it be that the melody no longer soothes your soul,
sleepless nights can make your thoughts lose control
Did you feel any remorse when you stepped out of line?
Could it be that the melody no longer soothes your soul,
can you remember the harmony it once brought to your life?
Empty affairs carry a steep and painful emotional price,
can your voice sing our song with no need to be consoled?
Can you remember the harmony it once brought to your life?
The irony is that you found peace in a very meaningful way,
return to former days of first love, and let our love song replay
Why are you now not willing to make the necessary sacrifice?
Does the mirror make you lay down in a different bed?
Insecure rhythms turn many golden memories gray:
As we age, and our youth and beauty fade, fades away,
does our love song still play long in your head?
