See Lyrics By The Rascals

    things ain’t like they used to be love’s the only thing i see
    wings of life are taking flight from the darkness to the light

    i used to try and fly away upon the flood of dreams
    tasting all the good and bad from on the serpent’s tree
    little ones remind us of a place we used to be
    echoes of the ever land discover who you really am

    rivers rushing to the sea love is flowing endlessly
    drops of rain are never lost soul and spirit to the source

    yes i saw you in a fairy tale or was it just a dream
    white and yellow jasmine trees time a mere machine
    flashes of a new year light up a stellar sky
    love is really everywhere to see it is to fly

    things ain’t like they used to be if you want to you can see
    words of love on chestnut trees written by sweet memories

    while we are riding on the avenues of time
    the bird of life drinks drinks from the cups of wine
    waits until we’re ready for the prince’s gift of love

    things ain’t like they used to be love’s the only thing i see
    wings of life are taking flight from the darkness to the light

    the secret mirror photographs shining in your eyes
    i’m married to the universe my brother is the sky
    stars can see to make a wish and hearts with wings can fly
    so come with me and see my love so we can never die

    rivers rushing to the sea love is flowing endlessly
    drops of rain are never lost soul and spirit to the source

    things ain’t like they used to be love’s the only thing i see

    things ain’t like they used to be love’s the only thing i see
    things ain’t like they used to be love’s the only thing i see

    things ain’t like they used to be love’s the only thing i see
    things ain’t like they used to be love’s the only thing i see
    things ain’t like they used to be love’s the only thing i see
