Us Lyrics

I can’t ever go back to that little café with the candlelight
That was our café, & to go there w/o you wouldn’t seem right
Besides, I don’t want to touch that part of life that meant so much
The days the world belonged to us:
Just us.

And I’d telephone at 3 in the morning just to say hello
And all sleepy-eyed you’d breathe & sigh: “I love you so.”
And sometimes we’d just talk for hours, building dreams & building towers,
All the world was filled with flowers:
For us!

And I’m gonna miss you a long, long time… I can’t ever go back to the cabin there on the mountainside
Where you built a fire & held me close while it snowed outside
And remember you let me sleep all day
So we could love the night away.
Oh to just find yesterday:
And us.

I tried making new friends, walking new streets, & finding new thrills
But nothing new replaces you, & it never will
Besides, I don’t want to touch that part of life that meant so much
The days the world belonged to us:
Just us.
