What Love Used to Be Lyrics

If love could be what it used to be

When we were young and our hearts were free

We used to fall so easily

When love could be what it used to be

When love was an ocean and I jumped right in

I didn't care if I would sink or swim

Now safe from the shore I watch the gulls on the wind

Thinkin' how I used to jump right in

Our lows were low, our highs they were high

With each broken heart, I felt like I would die

Tell me little baby, is that the reason why

We're afraid to fall in love again

If a new branch grows from a fallen tree

If a blind dog wags his tail at me

If two old folks dance cheek to cheek

Maybe love could be what it used to be

Our lows were low, our highs they were high

With each broken heart, I felt like I would die

Tell me little baby, is that the reason why

We're afraid to fall in love again

If a new branch grows from a fallen tree

If a blind dog wags his tail at me

If two old folks dance cheek to cheek

Maybe love could be what it used to be

Maybe love could be

What it used to be
