All the world is a room and the room is painted blue

You look at me, I look at you-ou-ou

And we need our song to pull us throu-ou-ough

But the melody is changin'

And the words have slipped away-ay-ay-yay

And we cannot sing our good old song

Like we could in the good old days



Leavin' you, it sure ain't ea-ea-easy

I think of the summer nights we knew-ew-ew

I remember the way you used to plea-ease me

But the time is now upon us to go our separate way-ay-yays

Because we cannot sing the good old song

Like we could in the good old days



And don't you want to have your cha-a-ance

Don't you want to try a new romance

And I know-ow-ow you will (I know you will)

When the time is right

You will dance on the highest hill

In the night



But tonight I want to hold you close

I wanna feel you near me one more ti-i-i-i-ime

But too bad, so sad, that's how it go-o-oes

When your friends all come and ask you

Why your lover went away-ay-ay-yay

Just tell 'em we could not sing the good old song

Like we could in the good old days



Just tell 'em we could not sing the good old song

Like we could in the good old days
