We Used To Love Each Other Lyrics
I wrote it down cause there was nothin’ left to say, it’s in the past in a funny kind of way
Lookin’ down at the clouds from this ole jet plane, I see a hint of the sun but it’s all the same
Just two kids all caught up in a fable, I can still see it now, are you able
To look back, when we met she was 17, crazy, brown eyed girl, runnin’ round in a dream
But that was some time ago, there’s miles and years between us so, if she thinks of me today, I
cannot know
But I know we used to love each other once, I know she used to think I hung the moon, don’t
know if May just came too early, or perhaps April went too soon, but I know we used to love
each other once
I should have found some kind of guide along my way, runnin’ the dirt off of this backwoods
byway
Windows down, high up, lost in the smell of the breeze, I catch a hint of her hair, tell me, how
can this be
It takes me back to a fleeting scene of before, two star-crossed lovers who both knew the score
Walkin’ the streets of snow covered Chicago, perhaps I knew then, but then hey, what do I
know
That’s when she said to me, o, my honey, can’t you see that there’s no way any man could
know for sure
But I know we used to love each other once, I know she used to think I’d understand, she saw
her past lives in my blue eyes, I held her future in my hands, yes, I know we used to love each
other once
And no, it never occurred to me it’d be on a farm in Manchester, Tennessee, when we both
came to know, “Hell, has it been that long?”
And no, I never had the courage to say, before you turned your back again and walked away,
that I still hear your name every now and again in a song
Cause I know we used to love each other once, I know you’d have gone anywhere with me, is
there another chapter later on down the line, now that no man can see
But I know we used to love each other once, I know you used to get weak at just my name, I
know we had our day someday long ago, but some days today it feels the same
Cause I know we used to love each other once, I know we used to take walks in her dreams, is
there a sunset at the end of this long dirt road, or is all of hell as hot as it seems
Yes, I know we used to love each other once
