Arif Mardin - See lyrics

Things ain't like they used to be, love's the only thing I see Wings of life are taking flight from the darkness to the light I used to try and fly away upon the flood of dreams Tasting all the good and bad from on the serpent's tree Little ones remind us of a place we used to be Echoes of the ever land discover who you really am Rivers rushing to the sea, love is flowing endlessly Drops of rain are never lost, soul and spirit to the source Yes I saw you in a fairy tale or was it just a dream ? White and yellow jasmine trees, time a mere machine Flashes of a New Year light up a stellar sky Love is really everywhere, to see it is to fly Things ain't like they used to be, if you want to you can see Words of love on chestnut trees written by sweet memories While we are riding on the avenues of time The bird of life drinks drinks from the cups of wine Waits until we're ready for the Prince's gift of love Things ain't like they used to be, love's the only thing I see Wings of life are taking flight from the darkness to the light The secret mirror photographs shining in your eyes I'm married to the universe, my brother is the sky Stars can see to make a wish and hearts with wings can fly So come with me and see my love so we can never die Rivers rushing to the sea, love is flowing endlessly Drops of rain are never lost, soul and spirit to the source Things ain't like they used to be, love's the only thing I see Things ain't like they used to be, love's the only thing I see Things ain't like they used to be, love's the only thing I see Things ain't like they used to be, love's the only thing I see Things ain't like they used to be, love's the only thing I see Things ain't like they used to be, love's the only thing I see
