Lyrics

The Way It Was Before -Ray Bonneville (SOCAN 2022)


Darlin’, I got something to say to you
I’m sorry, I’ve gone and made you blue
forgive me, please open the door
and make it, the way it was before

nobody, anywhere but you
gets me, like you do
more than, anything in this world
I want to make it, the way it was before

have you ever had a deep regret
one that you could not forget
a sadness you always wore
longing for the way it was before

if you take me, for who I am today
imperfect, in so many ways
I would not, feel so insecure
can we make it, the way it was before

I want to hold you, like I’ve always done
and tell you, that you’re my only one
when I think of, what might lay in store
I want to make it, the way it was before
make it, the way it was before
