You come home and get lost in the evening news   I wish we could talk but somehow we never do   You don't even ask me how my day has been   It looks like one of those evenings again   We sit here like strangers, I don't know you anymore      I knew you when you needed me   I used to make your world go round   You used to open up your heart and let me in   Why can't you now, like you did then   I knew you when?      I used to see nothing but love in your eyes   Now you look at me it's enough to make me cry   Little by little you're slipping away   So much is said in the words you don't say   Don't you remember when you were mine   Oh, there was a time      I knew you when you needed me   I used to make your world go round   You used to open up your heart and let me in   Why can't you now, like you did then   I knew you when?      I knew you when you needed me   I used to make your world go round   You used to open up your heart and let me in   Why can't you now, like you did then   I knew you when?      Oh, why can't you now, like you did then   I knew you when?
