Still In Love
The past, it seems just out of touch
Our sunshine smiles have dimmed
I know love’s there, still feel the rush
What is this place we’re in?
Oh, can we surface long enough
To free us from the dark?
I know time’s gone and life gets rough
We can still ignite the spark, so
Remind me
How it was when we were young
Of all those songs that we would hum
How the sky had seemed so blue
And how I always turned to you
Show me
How it all can be today
How like kids, we still can play
With the smiles we both possess
All the love that we confess
We then can be
Two lovers, still in love
Just you and me
Our lives’ routines have taken hold
Imprisoned in its cell
Not free to age as was foretold
Under our lovers’ spell
But, if we try we can be free
To learn to be again
The lovers that we seemed to be
The many years back then, so
Remind me
How it was when we were young
Of all those songs that we would hum
How the sky had seemed so blue
And how I always turned to you
Show me
How it all can be today
How like kids, we still can play
With the smiles we both possess
All the love that we confess
We then can be
Two lovers, still in love
Just you and me
