The Way It Was/Is

The Way It Was / Is -

We were there once ,by the sea,
and you aked me to set you free.
What an offer ,it was so new to me,
Somehow I forgot the you in we.

And we laughed a bit,and we didn't care,
About all the people ,hiding there.
And we laughed a bit, and we didn't care,
About all the people's jealous glares .

But those days are gone,I lost a chance to smile,
but I'll visit you sometimes in my head,for awhile.
And you were set free,just like you asked me to,
Guess I'll try to live awhile,and treat it like it's new.
