LIKE WE USED TO BE
BUFFALO SUN & SNOWBIRD SHADOW

Music & Lyrics:
Buffalo Sun
We were kids when we first embraced

And we found we're not the same
We we're lost in a paradise
Until we learned of pain

We were kids when we both agreed
I'd be yours and you'd be mine
But our tale didn't end as well

As in our nursery rhyme

Why can't we always be

Like We Used To Be
Life was so simple free
Life was you and me

If we could always be
Like We Used To Be
Life would be fantasy

I'd be you and you'd be me

As a boy, I would share a dream

Of holding hands with a queen
Then you'd sit me upon your throne
And bring me ice cream cones

As a girl, I would hold your hand
Write your name in the sand
Then you'd close your eyes

And smile so true
As I whispered 'I Love You'


Now the years bring us painful tears
As we've grown, from what we've known
All that's left are memories

And melted ice cream cones

Why can't we always be

Like We Used To Be
Life was so simple free
Life was you and me

If we could always be
Like We Used To Be
Life would be fantasy

I'd be you and you'd be me.

BUFFALO SUN
