[Intro]         
                                   
 I drove through the desert last night
                                 
 I carried the weight of our last fight
                                        
Elvis singing  don?t be cruel? and I wonder if you feel it too.
              
It?s like we?re going under
                                                
    Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line
                                        
The question of my heart came to my mind
            
If I go on with you by my side
                            
Can it be the way it was when we met?
                               
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
                             
 Maybe a thief stole your heart
                        
 or maybe we just drifted apart
                            
I remember driving in my daddy?s car to the airfield
                                   
Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield
                                                         
   Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust
                                  
That paradise is buried in the dust
            
If I go on with you by my side
                             
Can it be the way it was when we met?
                               
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was.)
                                 
All of our plans are falling through
                              
Sometimes a dream, it don?t come true

Darling darling
                                                        
(If we go on can it be) Can it be the way it was when we met?
                               
Did you forget all about them golden nights?
                
If I go on with you by my side
                    
Can it be the way it was 
                              
My heart is true, girl, it s just you
                                        
I m thinking of, Can it be the way it was?
(        )
                           
 (Maybe a thief stole your heart)
