Once Were Lovers Songtext
von Luther Vandross

Hmm-mm
Hmm-mm, yeah

We shared a life, we shared a heart
But what we united, seems to be breaking apart
It′s a haunting pain, goes right to the core
Now we're dividing what′s mine from what's yours
I'll keep the same old things I had when we met
And you′ll keep what′s yours, 'cause that would only be fair
But what about the heart that we both created together? Yeah

We used to be the toast of the town
We used to have the best love of all
We had blue skies, but they came falling down
What happened to us?
You and I once were lovers


No cheating hearts, and no one did wrong
So why did we break? Can′t say our love wasn't strong
But I know with time that things start to mend
So let′s fix these hearts, so they can't be broken, again
You need a man who sees how lonely you′ve been
Don't worry, I will start all over, and then
We will get back the heart that we both created together, oh-ooh

We used to be the toast of the town
We used to have the best love of all
We had blue skies, but they came falling down
What happened to us? Uh
You and I once were lovers

Last night I cried but, girl, you were not here
So, it was just a big waste of tears
But then I smiled, I heard your voice in my ear
Tellin' me, "You wish it could be like it was in the beginning"
I miss you, baby
Whoa-ooh
And I love you

We used to be the toast of the town (I remember, love)
We used to have the best love of all (everybody knew)
We had blue skies, but they came falling down
What happened to us? (To us)
You and I once were lovers


We used to be the toast of the town (I remember, love)
We used to have the best love of all (everybody knew)
We had blue skies, but they came falling down
What happened to us? (Uh, to us)
You and I once were lovers

We used to be the toast of the town (I remember, love)
We used to have the best love of all (everybody knew)
We had blue skies, but they came falling down
What happened to us? (To)
You and I once were lovers

We used to be -
