[Verse 1]
[FRANK]
Don’t you remember happy days
When we danced until the dawn?
And come the morning, come what may-
[BARBARA]
Those days are long, long gone
I remember you and me
We dreamed on a million stars
But our skies have emptied
And I don’t know who or where we are
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When we started letting go
Can you tell me, I’ve got to know
[Chorus]
What are we now?
So far from everything we started dreaming of
What are we now?
What happened here to us?
We were all we ever wanted
In the way-back-when somehow
I love what we used to be
What are we now?
[Verse 2]
I remember summer days
When we were both just kids
We never lost our way
And working hard was all we ever did
[FRANK]
I remember summer nights
Oh, how you loved me then
I used to make you smile
Will it ever be that way again?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tell me, have I started losing you?
That I’ve gone from foolish to a fool
[Chorus: FRANK and BARBARA]
What are we now?
So far from everything we started dreaming of
What are we now?
What happened here to us?
We were all we ever wanted
In the way-back-when somehow
I love what we used to be
What are we now?
[Bridge]
[BARBARA]
Now the time has come to see
What you and I are meant to be
When the last star falls and all is said and done
[FRANK]
What’s a man supposed to do
Without a home to hold on to
Believin’ it’s just an easy way to run?
[Chorus]
What are we now?
So far from everything we started dreaming of
[BARBARA]
What are we now?
What happened here to us?
[FRANK AND BARBARA]
We were all we ever wanted
In the way-back-when somehow
I love what we used to be
What are we now?
What are we now?
[BARBARA, speaking]
That’s the ferry, Frank
[FRANK]
It is
And the ferry brings the doctor
The doctor brings the plant
And the plant brings you back
To me
