The Way We Were

The stars won't come out
If they know that you're about
'Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy
Tryin' hard to win me first prizeOh, Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Hmm hmm, Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreamsThe future is bright
The gypsy told me so last night
Said, "She saw our children playin' in the sunshine"
And there were you and I
In a house, baby no lie
And all these things were yours
And they were mineOh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Hmm hmm, Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreamsAnd, oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy
You know I
Tryin' hard to win me first prizeOh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh, my Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams
