Lyrics
The Old You
Verse 1
Life was a dance, we took every step together
We were best friends, and passionate lovers.
What do I do now that we've come to this
When it's you I still want, and you I still miss?
Chorus:
I want back the 'old you'.
The you who took my hand, and said 'I do".
The you who promised 'till death do we part'.
The I love, the you who stole my heart.
If things could only be like they used to
Baby, that would be like a dream come true.
Cause, I don't wanna look for someone new
I want back the 'old you'.
Verse 2
I miss that wanting me look you had in your eyes.
I miss your soft tender touch, and the sound of your sighs.
Isn't what we had together, worth one more try?
Honey, I just can't bring myself to say good-bye.
Ending:
I don't wanna look for someone new,
I want back the 'old you'.
