A Shadow of a Dream

Lyrics

Seventeen was a good age to be And a year of dreams for you and for me For we planned to spend our lives together We thought we'd be in love for ever and ever But the light went out and the flame it died And we sat alone and cried and cried And the sun went down and left us cold Two used-up lovers whose love had grown old And we tried to laugh about the times we'd had Bеfore our love went bad But thеre was nothing we could do When you're through you're through Other loves they come and they go But other loves don't give me the glow That I felt for the first time with you If only love had been stronger Not something we outgrew But the light went out and the flame it died And we sat alone and cried and cried And the sun went down and left us cold Two used-up lovers whose love had grown old And we tried to laugh about the times we'd had Before our love went bad But there was nothing we could do When you're through you're through Too many cold and lonely nights Too many unforgotten fights Have come between us The love between us Is nothing now but a memory The shadow of a dream that was you and me But the light went out and the flame it died And we sat alone and cried and cried And the sun went down and left us cold Two used-up lovers whose love had grown old And we tried to laugh about the times we'd had Before our love went bad But there was nothing we could do When you're through you're through It's nothing now but a memory The shadow of a dream that was you and me
