The Way We Planned It

(album: The Heart Of A Woman - 1974)

Somewhere along the way we ran out of things to say
Now the silence of our days says it all
At some point along the line all the dreams we thought we'd find
We somehow left behind and now they're gone

I don't blame you, you don't blame me
So is this the way it's gonna be?

Hey! That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all!
What makes a love grow old?
What makes a heart grow cold?

Sometimes I look at you and recall the joy we knew
When all we had to do was let love grow
And somehow it saddens me
All those lovely memories just remind me of what we would never know

I don't blame you, you don't blame me
So is this the way it's gonna be?

Hey! That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all!
Hey! That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all!
What makes a love grow old?
What makes a heart grow cold?

Somewhere along the way we may look back on today
And be sorry for the love we've thrown away
