Amanda

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Often love ends in sadness It burns and bleeds and breaks before it bends Look at what we've built from all the madness You are my beginning, you're my end [Chorus 1] It was always you and me I loved you at twenty-three What's the word for how I feel about you now? Feel like Paris on the night When I promised you my life Look forever, you might find Amanda [Verse 2] Young lovers covet the beginning They'd feign to find the fire ever fake The lesson that we've learned over and again Is pain and pleasure both are worth the same [Chorus 2] It was always you and me I loved you at twenty-three What's the word for how I feel about you now? When the kids have gone to sleep And I'm making us a drink Raising babies, chasing dreams Amanda [Chorus 3] It was always you and me I loved you at twenty-three What's the word for how I feel about you now? When I'm getting old and gray And I'm counting up my days The last word that I'll say Amanda [Outro] A name so sweet It sings like a melody Brings me peace It brings me peace
