When Love Was Spoken

by Charlie Peacock

on West Coast Diaries (1991)

When love was spoken, you and I... we understood,
Nothing would come between us, bad or good,
Then you decided a promise could be broken,
You never would've talked like that when love was spoken.

When I think of you, my heart breaks all over again,
I think of all those years,
Why was the chain ever broken?
When you and I used to be as one, when love was spoken.

Your heart is locked up tight, locked up so tight,
No way to open it; no key in sight,
Something won't let me leave you behind,
Who said that out of sight was out of mind?

When I think of you, my heart breaks all over again,
I think of all those years,
Why was the chain ever broken?
When you and I used to be as one, when love was spoken,
When you and I used to be as one, when love was spoken.

My dream, is someday you and I'll be back together,
Walking hand in hand, light as a feather,
We'll go someplace where dreams are never broken,
Where a man and a woman stay together,
Love is spoken.

You and I used to be as one, when love was spoken,
When love was spoken, when love was spoken,
You never would've talked like that when love was spoken,
You and I used to be as one, when love was spoken,
(Fade)
