Amanda

[Verse 1]
Often love ends in sadness
It burns and bleeds and breaks before it bends
Look at what we've built from all the madness
You are my beginning, you're my end

[Chorus 1]
It was always you and me
I loved you at twenty-three
What's the word for how I feel about you now?
Feel like Paris on the night
When I promised you my life
Look forever, you might find
Amanda

[Verse 2]
Young lovers covet the beginning
They'd feign to find the fire ever fake
The lesson that we've learned over and again
Is pain and pleasure both are worth the same

[Chorus 2]
It was always you and me
I loved you at twenty-three
What's the word for how I feel about you now?
When the kids have gone to sleep
And I'm making us a drink
Raising babies, chasing dreams
Amanda

[Chorus 3]
It was always you and me
I loved you at twenty-three
What's the word for how I feel about you now?
When I'm getting old and gray
And I'm counting up my days
The last word that I'll say
Amanda

[Outro]
A name so sweet
It sings like a melody
Brings me peace
It brings me peace
