There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcardNo song that I could sing, but I can try for your heartOur dreams, and they are made out of real thingsLike a, shoe box of photographsWith sepia-toned lovingLove is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heartLike why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?It's not always easy andSometimes life can be deceivingI'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're togetherIt's always better when we're togetherYeah, we'll look at the stars when we're togetherWell, it's always better when we're togetherYeah, it's always better when we're togetherAnd all of these momentsJust might find their way into my dreams tonightBut I know that they'll be goneWhen the morning light singsAnd brings new thingsFor tomorrow night you seeThat they'll be gone tooToo many things I have to doBut if all of these dreams might find their wayInto my day to day sceneI'd be under the impressionI was somewhere in betweenWith only twoJust me and youNot so many things we got to doOr places we got to beWe'll sit beneath the mango tree nowYeah, it's always better when we're togetherWe're somewhere in between togetherWell, it's always better when we're togetherYeah, it's always better when we're togetherI believe in memoriesThey look so, so pretty when I sleepHey now, and when I wake up,You look so pretty sleeping next to meBut there is not enough time,And there is no, no song I could singAnd there is no combination of words I could sayBut I will still tell you one thingWe're better together
