lyrics

Bought some tickets for the new stage show.
You and I, we couldn't wait to go.
Got a table for a dinner downtown - it was your favorite.
Got all gussied up, rode the train, it felt brave...

It was just a dream! We were kings and queens!
So will you sing with me?
Now we can't have nice things.

Wrote a new song to share with all of you.
Tried it out and thought, yeah, this'll do.
Booked a gig at a local watering hole - it was my favorite.
Saw your eyes light up, caught my breath, I have to savor
It was just a dream! We were kings and queens!
So will you sing with me?
Now we can't have nice things.
No we can't have nice things.

I don't even know who to blame
That we can't have nice things.
Will it ever be the same?
We can't have nice things.
We can't have nice things.
We can't have nice things.
We can't have nice things.

Will it ever be the same?
We can't have nice things.

I held your hand, the time will come - you were my favorite.
Saw your eyes light up, caught my breath, I have to savor it.
