how I loved you then, how I love you now

how I loved you then is not the way I love you now
how I loved you then is not the way I love you now
but in a way it is
and in a way it’s stronger
and in a way it’s older

and in some way it’s got all of the colours
I could never seem to tell
and in the end, it’s got a face I know so well

how I love you now is just the same as I did then
you ask me is this the happiest I can be
well it depends…
well it depends on how often you’ll smile
it depends on how far you’ll fly
how little you will cry…

and it’s because of all the colours
that you brought into my life
all the memories I’ll remember you by
yes, you brought up all the colours
I could never ever tell
on your face that I learnt to love so well

you should’ve never seen me struggling for air…

how I loved you then is not the way I love you now…
