The Way It Used To Be

I used to think the world was grey
In my room both night and day
My head bent down I could not see
Everything was grey to me
That's the way, the way it used to be

Call me old-fashioned or what you will
But no light of love could ever still
This heart that waits for only one
I'll wait and wait until I've won
That's the way, the way it is for me

Then my Angel you came along
Filling each day with a happy song
My future now is by your side
Shoulders straight, filled with pride
That's the way, the way for you and me
