Lyrics Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett

When Love Was All We Had

We started out as children on a carousel

Leaving all those fairy tales we knew so well

We built our world up in the air

Just holding hands, without a care

And everything was possible when love was all we had

Together we would laugh at other people's fears

Together in our plane we'd fly a thousand years

How could we see before we land

Our solid ground had turned to sand

The sad farewell yesterday

When love was all we had

Our magic island every summer

A holiday, just you and me

Now we'll never be together

Beside the sea

Some people say that we must face reality

That we were never happy as we seemed to be

No one was there with us to feel

Could then be false can now be real

It really was worthwhile to live

When love was all we had

Now we'll never be together

Beside the sea

Some people say that we must face reality

That we were never happy as we seemed to be

No one was there with us to feel

Could then be false can now be real

It really was worthwhile to live

When love was all we had

It really was worthwhile to live

When love was all we had
