D Bm A
Sometimes I think that I'm just a comfort to her
Bm A
And not that same young lover
Bm F#m A
From the days of Fenway and Kenmore
A F#m
But this is better than before
E A D
Oh now is better than before
D Bm A
Sometimes I think that my cheeks had more color in the past
Bm A
And that my heart once did beat more fast
Bm F#m A
In the days of the Fenway and Kenmore
A F#m
But this really is better than before
E A D
Oh now, is better than before
Bm F#m
I've loved her all of these years
A D
I've loved her all of these years
D Bm A
Sometimes I wonder can I really still call this a flame
Bm A
Or should I find another name?
Bm F#m A
But then it's yesterday once more
A F#m
Except it's better than it was before
E A D
Oh now, is better than before
Bm F#m
I've loved her all of these years
A D
I've loved her all of these years

But then it's yesterday once more
Except it's better than it was before
Oh now, is better than before

Te Vas A Emocionar Version - Lyrics
A veces pienso que aqui todo es seguridad,
Una seca castidad,
Donde antes fue ardor;
Pero ahora es mejor, oh yah, ahora es mejor.
De vez en cuando estoy suspirando por el pasado,
Y mi vivir que me ha dado,
?Quizas tenia mas color?
Pero ahora es mejor, oh yah, ahora es mejor.
A veces pienso que estamos demasiado arraigados,
Demasiado sosegados,
Cubriendo nuestro desamor;
Pero ahora es mejor, oh yah, ahora es mejor
Te Vas A Emocionar Version - English Translation
Sometimes I think that I'm ... just a comfort to her,
That we're not happy like we were,
Why aren't we happy anymore?
But now is better than before, oh now, is better than before.
Sometimes I wonder, didn't my life have more color in the past?
Didn't my heart used to beat more fast,
In the days of the Fenway and Kenmore;
But now is better than before, oh now, is better than before.
Sometimes I wonder should I ... should I still call this a flame,
Or should I find another name,
And then it's yesterday once more;
Now is better than before, oh now, is better than before.

Live In Germany 1985 Version - Lyrics
Sometimes I think that I'm just a comfort to her
That it's no more scary like it were
In those days of the days of Fenway and Kenmore
(until we got together)
But now is better than before
now is better than before
Sometimes I think that my life used to have more color in the past
that my heart used to beat more fast
In those days of the Fenway and Kenmore
No, it's not true
Now is better than before
I'm sayin that now, is better than before
and I've loved her all of these years
well I've loved her all of these years
Sometimes I wonder can I, can I still call this a flame?
Or do I have to find another name?
And then it's yesterday once more
No it's not, it's better than before
Oh now, is better than before
I've loved her for all of these years
well I've loved her for all of these years
Sometimes I wonder would I have the nerve to tell that girl the truth
this grown up boy here who loves Babe Ruth
If ever our sunny day should be over
and then all of a sudden it's better than before
well now is better than before
I've loved her for all of these years
well I've loved her all of these years
Sometimes I think that I'm just a comfort to her
That it ain't sexy the way it were
Why aren't we happy any more?
But now is better than before
oh now is better than before
There's times I wonder didn't my life have more color in the past
didn't my heart used to beat more fast
Why aren't we happy any more?
well Now is better than before
oh now, is better than before
There's times I wonder should I still call this a flame?
Or should I find another name?
And then it's yesterday once more
No no, it's better than before
Oh now, is better than before
