The Way It Was Lyrics

I don't know how, but nights get lonely now They keep appearing in my eyes Such a warm and tender glow For just one moment I remember all
The love we had was never all that bad There were smiles and there were tears On that special starry night With your arms around me, held on tight
Wasn't that the way it was? Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause Wasn't that the love we shared Or just the restless years when no one cared?
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-way-it-was-lyrics-bee-gees.html ] I don't know why it's hard to say goodbye Or even justify the end You meant so very much to me Then to let you go, start my life again
The love we had was never all that bad There were smiles and there were tears Till that special summer day When I reached out for you, you just walked away
Wasn't that the way it was? Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause Wasn't that the love we shared Or just the restless years when no one cared?
