Lovers Again

Many thanks to Phil Cashin for his vocals.

[You should hear the first part of the song shortly]

The lyrics are as follows:

When Van was on the radio
And no-one else was there to know
My green-eyed girl and I would go
Up to a place on the common
Or when the front room lights were low
And Bruce was on the stereo
We used to dance up close and slow
And sing along to each other
Then all the rains fell on this place
The days I spent in half disgrace
A job I could no longer face
The days I struggled through
And all the bravest things that I’d done
To pick you up and help you run
They all left this world with you
I had no strength any more

But one sweet day
Someone will say
That’s it’s okay
We can be lovers again
And if I pray…
We can be lovers again

(Instrumental break)

We’ll turn the front room lights down low
We’ll dance again up close and slow
Listening to the radio
And all our favourite songs
I’m just a man of forty-five
Who’s trying to keep his love alive
There’s nothing I would rather do
Than sing this prayer for you

That one sweet day
Someone will say
That’s it’s okay
We can be lovers again
And if I pray…
We can be lovers again
Yes one sweet day…
We can be lovers again
And if I pray…
We can be lovers again
