0:01Once Were Lovers - Luther Vandross
0:23We shared a life
0:26We shared a heart
0:29But what we united
0:32Seems to be breaking apart
0:35It’s a haunting pain
0:37Goes right to the core
0:41Now we’re dividing
0:43What’s mine from what’s yours
0:47I’ll keep the same old things
0:49I had when we met
0:52And you’ll keep what’s yours
0:54‘cause that would only be fair
0:58But what about the heart
1:00That we both created together
1:07We used to be the toast of the town
1:12We used to have the best love of all
1:18We had blue skies but
1:20They came falling down
1:23What happened to us
1:27You and I once were lovers
1:29No cheating hearts and no one did wrong
1:36So why did we break
1:38Can’t say our love wasn’t strong
1:42But I know with time things that start to mend
1:47So let’s fix these hearts
1:50So they can’t be broken again
1:53You need a man who sees
1:55How lonely you’ve been
1:59Don’t worry I will start all over and then
2:05We will get back the heart
2:07That we both created together
2:13We used to be the toast of the town
2:19We used to have the best love of all
2:25We had blue skies but
2:27They came falling down
2:30What happened to us
2:32You and I once were lovers
2:37Last night I cried but girl you were not here
2:42So it was just a big waste of tears
2:48But then I smiled I heard your voice in my ear
2:53Tellin’ me you wish it could be like it was in the beginning
3:21We used to be the toast of the town
3:27We used to have the best love of all
3:34We had blue skies but
3:36They came falling down
3:39What happened to us
3:42You and I once were lovers
3:46We used to be the toast of the town
3:50We used to have the best love of all
3:57We had blue skies but
3:59They came falling down
4:02What happened to us
4:05You and I once were lovers
4:09We used to be the toast of the town
4:14We used to have the best love of all
