He recalls the days that they spent together
The nights they spent making love, all night
Days they thought that would last forever
Suddenly seem lost to sight
What happened to the people that they once were
And how did they get to where they are today?
The passion that once flamed is now a single ember
That’s slowly fading and crumbling away

He remembers how the scent of her perfume
Would drive him wild with desire
When a simple smile across a crowded room
Would reignite that fire
Though his love for her is never in doubt
How he misses that burning heat
He thought this desire could never burn out
Leaving him unneeded and obsolete 

The love they hold is a strong now as it was then
But he misses the unbridled passion they’d bring
Oh if only they could live their lives over again!
But I guess he wouldn’t change a single thing.
