Verse:

Are you a page out of the past?
Are you a dream that was too good to last?
You're not the same, although it's you,
What has become of the girl I once knew?

Chorus:

I love her so,
The girl you used to be,
The girl who cared for me
Not so long ago.
I feel somehow,
The girl you used to be
Is just a memory
When I see you now.
Where has all that sweetness gone?
Where's the sparkle in your eye?
Where is all your tender charm?
Have they passed you by?
But don't forget,
If you should ever see
The girl you used to be,
Bring her back to me.
