Lyrics

Lonely table just for one
In a bright and crowded room
While the music has begun
I drink to memories in the gloom
Though the music's still the same
It has a bitter sweet refrain
So play the song the way it used to be
Before she left and changed it all to sadness
And maybe if she's passing by the window
She would hear our love song and the melody
And even if the words are not so tender
She will always remember the way it used to be
Friends stop by and say hello
Hah, and I laugh and hide the pain
It's quite easy 'til they go
Then the song begins again
So play the song the way it used to be
Before she left and changed it all to sadness
And maybe if she's passing by the window
She will hear our love song and the melody
And even if the words are not so tender
She will always remember the way it used to be
Written by: Corrado Conti, Francesco Cassano, Roger Cook, Roger Greenaway
