Slowly

We take so much
for granted you and I
We share a life
in one dimension
Our problems always
seem to cloud the sky
Yet we don't pay them
much attention

And with every day
we drift apart
I can feel it in my heart
Somehow you're not
the man I used to know
And though a part of me
still needs you so
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly

No angry words
and no heart-rending scenes
and we should take it
as a warning
We keep on going through
the old routines
Exchanging kisses
in the morning

And with every day
we drift apart
And a fear is in my heart
I read the signs
and I should be mature
And yet a child
could not be more unsure
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly, slowly

Our passion's just
a distant memory
And in its place
a dull frustration
A cold indifference
where there used to be
at least a frequent irritation

But a feeling still
of tenderness
and of pity, so I guess
If you need someone
in your arms tonight
I'll be that someone
but it won't feel right
Cause something's wrong
And I know my love dies
Slowly

Somehow you're not
the one I used to know
And though a part of me
still needs you so
There's something wrong
And I feel my love die
Slowly, slowly
