Burt Bacharach
The Wine Is Young
I'd bring you back if I knew how
But our world's all over now
The world was our private little merry-go-round
The lilt of our laughter made a beautiful sound
We were so in love
Each night the moon used to wait for us
Before it would shine
But that was long ago
And now the wine is young
Our dreams are old
Love has come and gone
And it hurts me more
Than I can bear, to go on alone
I'd bring you back if I knew how
But our world's all over now
My lips long to kiss you
Like they kissed you before
My arms would do anything
To hold you once more
What a love we shared
And now the wine is young
Our dreams are old
Love has come and gone
And it hurts me more
Than I can bear, to go on alone
I'd bring you back if I knew how
But our world's all over now
What a love we shared
We owned the stars
Half of them were yours
The others were mine
But that was long ago
