Starting Over Lyrics
John Lennon
Lyrics
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance
And fly away somewhere alone
It's been too long since we took the time
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darlin'
It's like we both are fallin' in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Every day we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy?
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by, my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Why don't we take off alone?
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well, darlin'
It's been too long since we took the time
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darlin'
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance
And fly away somewhere
Over, and over, and over, and over
Startin' over
Over, and over, and over, and over
Startin' over
