IN A BRIGHT AND CROWDED ROOM.
 WHILE THE MUSIC HAS BEGUN,
 I DRINK TO MEMORIES IN THE GLOOM

 THOUGH THE MUSIC'S STILL THE SAME,
 IT HAS A BITTERSWEET REFRAIN.

 SO PLAY THE SONG THE WAY IT USED TO BE, BEFORE SHE LEFT AND CHANGED IT ALL TO SADNESS
 AND MAYBE, IF SHE'S PASSING BY THE WINDOW
 SHE WILL HEAR A LOVE SONG,  AND A MELODY
 AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT SO TENDER SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER,THE WAY IT USED TO BE.
 FRIENDS STOP BY AND SAY HELLO,
 AND I LAUGH AND HIDE THE PAIN
 IT'S QUITE EASY 'TIL THEY GO,
 THEN THE SONG BEGINS AGAIN

 SO PLAY THE SONG THE WAY IT USED TO BE BEFORE SHE LEFT AND CHANGED IT ALL TO SADNESS
 AND MAYBE IF SHE'S PASSING BY THE WINDOW
 SHE WILL HEAR A LOVE SONG, AND A MELODY AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT SO TENDER SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WAY IT USED TO BE
