Ronnie Vannucci Jnr - The Way It Was lyrics

[Intro] I drove through the desert last night I carried the weight of our last fight [Verse 1] Elvis singing don't be cruel, and I wonder if you feel it too It's like we're going under Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda county line The question of my heart came to my mind [Hook] If I go on with you by my side Can it be the way it was? When we met did you forget about those golden nights? Maybe a thief stole your heart Maybe we just drifted apart [Verse 2] I remember driving in my daddy's car to the airfield Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust That paradise is buried in the dust [Hook] If I go on with you by my side Can it be the way it was? When we met did you forget about those golden eyes? [Verse 3] All of our plans have fallen through Sometimes a dream don't come true [Hook] Darling! Darling! If we go on Can it be the way it was When we met did you forget all about them golden nights? If I go on with you by my side Can it be the way it was My heart is true, girl it's just you I'm thinking of Can it be the way it was? [Outro] Maybe a thief stole your heart
