All the world is a room and the room is painted blue
You look at me, I look at you-ou-ou
And we need our song to pull us throu-ou-ough
But the melody is changin'
And the words have slipped away-ay-ay-yay
And we cannot sing our good old song
Like we could in the good old days

Leavin' you, it sure ain't ea-ea-easy
I think of the summer nights we knew-ew-ew
I remember the way you used to plea-ease me
But the time is now upon us to go our separate way-ay-yays
Because we cannot sing the good old song
Like we could in the good old days

And don't you want to have your cha-a-ance
Don't you want to try a new romance
And I know-ow-ow you will (I know you will)
When the time is right
You will dance on the highest hill
In the night

But tonight I want to hold you close
I wanna feel you near me one more ti-i-i-i-ime
But too bad, so sad, that's how it go-o-oes
When your friends all come and ask you
Why your lover went away-ay-ay-yay
Just tell 'em we could not sing the good old song
Like we could in the good old days

Just tell 'em we could not sing the good old song
Like we could in the good old days
