Now And Then

Well, she got her daddy's car

And she cruised through the hamburger stand-now,

Seems she forgot all about the library

Like she told her ol' man-now,

And with the radio blastin' goes cruisin'

Just as fast as she can-now



And she'll have fun, fun, fun,

Till her daddy takes the t-bird away



Well you knew all along that your dad

Was gettin' wise to you-now

(should'na lied now, should'na lied)

And since he took your set of keys you've been

Thinkin' that your fun is all through-now

(should'na lied now, should'na lied)

But you can come along with me 'cause we

Gotta lotta things to do-now



And we'll have fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the t-bird away



Fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the t-bird away



Fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the t-bird away

this masquerade

Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

(*) throughts of leaving disappear
Each time i see your eyes
And no matter how hard i try
To understand the reason
Why we carry on this way
And we're lost in this masquerade

We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Repeat (*)
We're lost in a masquerade

When i was young

I'd listened to the radio

Waitin' for my favorite songs

Waiting they played i'd sing along

It made me smile



Those were such happy times

And not so long ago

How i wondered where they'd gone

But they're back again

Just like a long lost friend

All the songs i loved so well



(*) every sha-la-la-la

Every wo-wo-wo

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they're starting to sing's

So fine



When they get to the part

Where he's breakin' her heart

It can really make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more



Lookin' back on how it was

In years gone by

And the good times that i had

Makes today seem rather sad

So much has changed



It was songs of love that

I would sing to then

And i'd memorize each word

Those old melodies

Still sound so good to me

As they melt the years away



Repeat (*)



All my best memories

Come back clearly to me

Some can even make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more



Repeat (*)

Why does the sun go on shining?

Why does the sea rush to shore?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

'cause you don't love me anymore?



Why do the birds go on singing?

Why do the starts glow above?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when i lost your love



I wake up in the morning and i wonder

Why ev'rything is the same as it was

I can't understand, no, i can't understand

How life goes on the way it does!



Why does my heart go on beating?

Why do these eyes of mine crying?

Don't they know it's the end of the world?

It ended when you said goodbye



Don't they know it's the end of the world?

It endend when you said goodbye
