Seems like yesterday
You were at my house
We were strummin' the guitar
And talking the blues about, the blues about
Lying on the floor
Lost deep in our eyes
You said, "may this feeling never die, never die"
Oh babe, that's the way, the way we were
The way we were
The way we were
That's the way we were now
I gazed at you
And you took my hand, well
Wrapped your body around me
Like a shell in the sand, in the sand
And I swear you could read my mind
We were both dreamin' at the same time
Let's move to Memphis and explore this, explore this
Oh babe, that's the way, the way we were
The way we were
The way we were
That's the way we were now
As time went by
You'd gone and returned, well
I could see you were holding back
But you still yearned to touch me
Oh babe, that's the way, the way we were
The way we were
The way we were
That's the way we were now
It was so fine
Who knows what will happen down the line
Mmm, yeah
