Like I Used to Do
There was a time
we'd be the last to leave,
Watching the sun come up
while everyone fell asleep
The music was always loud,
I'd smoke and drink too much,
Until I'd fall in your arms
and into your loving touch
Now as the years roll by,
time has reeled me in,
I've slowed down down a notch or two
from The way things were then.
Those old ways of mine,
I've left them behind
Those crazy days are through,
The only thing I still do like I used to do
is carry this torch for you.
Remember the days
we'd pack our bags and run,
Chasing some crazy dream
into the morning sun.
Now as the twilight falls,
I find I'm satisfied
watchin' the fire glow
just as long as you're by my side.
Here in my heart it seems
time has passed me by
I love you as much today
as the very first time.
Those old ways of mine,
I've left them behind
Those crazy days are through,
The only thing I still do
like I used to do
is carry this torch for you.
And I still want you
The way I wanted you then
If I could do it all over
I'd do it all over again
Those old ways of mine,
I've left them behind
Those crazy days are through,
The only thing I still do
like I used to do
is carry this torch for you.
The only thing I still do
like I used to do
is carry this torch for you.
we'd be the last to leave,
Watching the sun come up
while everyone fell asleep
The music was always loud,
I'd smoke and drink too much,
Until I'd fall in your arms
and into your loving touch
Now as the years roll by,
time has reeled me in,
I've slowed down down a notch or two
from The way things were then.
Those old ways of mine,
I've left them behind
Those crazy days are through,
The only thing I still do like I used to do
is carry this torch for you.
Remember the days
we'd pack our bags and run,
Chasing some crazy dream
into the morning sun.
Now as the twilight falls,
I find I'm satisfied
watchin' the fire glow
just as long as you're by my side.
Here in my heart it seems
time has passed me by
I love you as much today
as the very first time.
Those old ways of mine,
I've left them behind
Those crazy days are through,
The only thing I still do
like I used to do
is carry this torch for you.
And I still want you
The way I wanted you then
If I could do it all over
I'd do it all over again
Those old ways of mine,
I've left them behind
Those crazy days are through,
The only thing I still do
like I used to do
is carry this torch for you.
The only thing I still do
like I used to do
is carry this torch for you.
