Us

(Bill Anderson)



I can never go back to that little cafe with the candle light

That was our cafe and to go there without you just wouldn't seem right

Besides I don't want to touch that part of life that meant so much

The days the world belonged to us, just us.



And I'd telephone at three in the morning just to say hello

And all sleepy eyed you breathed and sighed I love you so

And sometimes we just talked for hours dreaming dreams and building towers

All the world was filled with flowers for us.



And I'm gonna miss you for a long, long time.



I can never go back to the cabin there on the mountain side

Where I built a fire and held you close while it snowed outside

And remember you let me sleep all day so we could love the night away

Oh it just found yesterday and us.



I've tried making new friends walking new streets finding new thrills

But nothing new replaces you and it never will

I'll just live my life in memory grateful that you once loved me

Thankful that there used to be and us.



And I'm gonna miss you for a long, long time...
