When Love Was All We Had

We were born on the poor side of town
A stone’s throw from each other’s house
I still remember How you laughed
I swore I’d get us out
We live in a mansion now
Like the way I planned
But looking back we had more love
When love was all we had

Crossed the tracks, no looking back
Kissed those days good-bye
All our hopes and dreams came true
We thought so at the time
But when I think how we made love
I miss those days real bad
Looking back we had it all
When love was all we had

When love was all we had
Little things all meant a lot
A simple gift, a tender word
Somehow we forgot

We sure lost something special
Things had better change
All that we share now is distance
At night it’s clear as day
Why don’t we just take off somewhere
Give us a real chance
Find the lover that we knew
When love was all we had

Looking back we had it all
When love was all we had

Hold me now the way you did
When love was all we had
