I could spend years just remembering

The days when our love was in bloom

But someone should break all the silence we make

Here on our sides of the room

Didn't we dance in piazzas at night

A wine tinted sky high above

Where'd we go wrong, where'd we start this sad song

About lonesome, being lonesome in love

Dreams they die so slowly

They peel like frescoes from a wall

Flaking away, bit by bit, day by day

Til somehow, they're not there at all

Barely can look at those photographs now

That brilliant young pair, that was us

Time left a mark, and it's stolen our spark, and left us

Lonesome, so lonesome in love

Oh, the echoes of those stone cobbled streets

When our hopes hung so ripe on the vine

A million affairs probably started right there

Did any shine more than yours and mine

Solo

Dreams they die so slowly

They peel like frescoes from a wall

Flaking away, bit by bit, day by day

Til somehow, they're not there at all

We could keep living together, apart

And never let push come to shove

But we've got too many good miles on these hearts

To be lonesome, this lonesome in love

We got too many good miles on these hearts

To be lonesome, so lonesome in love
