🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Falling into love so young seemed so rightHow could we know we’d grow up and grow apart?All we really wanted was each other in the nightBut, it’s plain to see we’ve had a change of heartThe day we said I do I really did and so did youLove came so easy, coming trueI 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’tWedding vows are just no good if you let ’em fadeAnd rings don’t mean a thing when feelings dieThey’re just a grim reminder of the love that we once madeAnd the loneliness ahead for you and IThe day we said I do I really did and so did youLove came so easy, coming trueI 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’tThe day we said I do I really did and so did youLove came so easy, coming trueI 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
