Just beyond my windowpane,
Visions of your future lay before you
Laughing just a little bit too loud
Looking at reflections in a mirror
I can see the smiling faces
But not me among the crowd
So I could shape it like I wanted to
I'd make it purely from the heart
I know that surely from the heart
We tried to set the world on fire
And almost did with our desire
Kids inside a candy store
Sparks of joy and celebration
And baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years
Yes baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years
Some believe in magic potions
Heads all full of crazy notions
Castles built upon a sandy shore
Is the magic I receive from
Loving you and needing nothing more
That's how lovers turn to lies
When I gave, you wanted more
Then suddenly we're keeping score
I forgave your small deceptions
Till I couldn't hide my deepest fears
And baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years
yes baby, you're the reason that
I haven' t played this song in years
