We Did But Now You Don't
Conway Twitty · #1 The Warner Bros. Years [Warner Brothers] [1988]
How could we know we'd grow up and grow apart
All we really wanted was each other in the night
But, it's plain to see we've had a change of heart.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.
Wedding vows are just no good if you let 'em fade
And rings don't mean a thing when feelings die
There just a grim reminder of the love that we once made
And the loneliness ahead for you and I.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't...
