Versuri Larry Ellis – Where Are We Now? lyrics

You brought me lilacs on my birthday, once;
That should have been enough —
But sometimes, gentlemen need stronger stuff:
A turning of the head,
A knowing smile in bed.

I buy you necklaces you never wear
To show how much I care.
I might as well have bought you bouquets of thin air,
For crystal beads
Can’t fill a woman’s needs.

And where are we now?
Where are we now?
A thousand miles apart.
What have we now?
What have we now?
Not even love enough to break each other’s hearts.

Is there some turning in the road we must have missed
That brought us here like this,
Taking each other like the dying take a kiss,
Our smiles, our frowns
That pull each other down.

Here comes the night again, to cover up the day
And take your face away.
The sum and substance of a lifetime that we’ve made
Is nothing now,
As the day begins to fade.

And where are we now?
Where are we now?
A thousand miles apart.
What have we now?
What have we now?
Not even love enough to break each other’s hearts.

We sit within the gloom
Of just this little room,
Wondering where are we now.
