Intro:         (2x)   Verse 1:   Do you remember once upon a time when you were mine   The stars above were bright and new I pulled them down for you Just when I fell in love again you said that all good things must end   Baby that’s just the way it is baby Oh oh   Baby that’s just the way it is baby   Verse2   I’ve never had a hand for solitaire it’s so unfair That I should have my chance and lose I feel like I’ve been used   To help you through another night you’ve spelled it out in black and white   Chorus   Solo (Verse: first 2 lines)   Verse3   The tide that once had carried you away bring you back today   Now the time has washed away my pain you’ll find that things have changed   And disappeared without a trace you can’t get back what you’ve erased    Chorus   And I say   Baby that’s just the way it is baby that’s just the way it is Baby that’s just the way it is baby that’s just the way it is   Chorus (4x)
