Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Givin' up and walkin' out these days
Made up their minds, don't want the hurt
They're resigned not to do the work it takes
Well whatever happened to hangin' on
And goin' the extra mile
Whatever happened to believin'
Let's bring it back, a true love that lasts
Let's take a chance at spending a lifetime together
In a slow dance, in a deep trance
In a romance, let's bring it back
Used to be a simple thing
All it took was a simple dream and love
And when the ride got a little rough
You'd buckle down, stick it out and rise above
Well, whatever happened to knowin'
That we kept the promise made
Whatever happened to those days
Let's bring it back, a true love that lasts
Let's take a chance at spending a lifetime together
In a slow dance, in a deep trance
In a romance, let's bring it back
The kissin', the laughin', the passion
Let's bring it back
That's what two hearts should have
In a slow dance, in a deep trance
In a romance, let's bring it back
In a slow dance, in a deep trance
In a romance, let's bring it back
In a slow dance, in a deep trance
In a romance, let's bring it back
Let's bring it back
In a slow dance, bring it back
In a deep trance, bring it back
In a romance, bring it back
Let's bring it back
In a slow dance, bring it back
In a deep trance, bring it back
In a romance, bring it back
Let's bring it back
In a slow dance, in a deep trance
In a romance, let's bring it back
