How Do We Love

We go down, We go down
to the night life, to the cafe
we listen to the songs of life
we listen to the songs of love
played softly on the guitar,
how do we love, how do we love?

We go down, We go down
to the city, to the city
and we laugh and we kiss,
we dance and we dance
to the old songs of our youth
played softly on the guitar,
how do we love, how do we love?

I close my eyes, I close my eyes
and I can't see you anymore,
yet my heart sings the songs
we danced to,
my hands long for your touch
my mind only thinks of us,
how do we love, tell me,
how can we love?
