Lyrics
ONCE LOVERS
Don't forget that we were once lovers
Full of passion and lust all the time
But now all we need is the bed space
So keep to your side and I'll keep to mine
I remember when I was breathless
Making love or just loving you
Of the days I so nervously told you
What it was we already knew
My heart will never stop beating
To a lovers melody
Music plays while you're around me
My lovers rhapsody
Those days so totally helpless
Entranced and spellbound by you
Of the feel of you close to me
This wonderful person so new
But once lovers was a long time ago
And love like time we all know
Will leave you and hopefully end
With you feeling that at least you were friends
