    LYRICS
    It was good for me
    It was good for you
    Now nothing either of us can say or do
    Can change the way you feel tonight
    Sometimes love just slips out of sight
    Just one thing before you go
    Just one thing that you've got to know
    No one will ever touch me that way
    The way that you did that very first day
    And I'll
    Never be the same without you here
    I'll live alone
    Hide myself behind my tears
    No I'll
    Never be the same without your love
    I'll live alone
    Try so hard to rise above
    The years go by
    There's always someone new
    To try and help me forget about you
    Time and again it does me no good
    Love never feels the way that it should
    I loved you then I guess I'll love you forever
    And even though I know we could never stay together
    I think about how it could've been
    If we could just start all over again
    And I'll
    Never be the same without you here
    I'll live alone
    Hide myself behind my tears
    No, I'll
    Never be the same without your love
    I'll live alone
    Try so hard to rise above
    It was good for me
    It was good for you
    Now nothing either of us can say or do
    Can change the way you feel today
    Sometimes love just slips away
    Just one thing before you go
    Just one thing that you've got to know
    No one will ever touch me that way
    The way that you did that very first day
    And I'll
    Never be the same without you here
    I'll live alone
    Hide myself behind my tears
    Hey...I'll
    Never be the same without your love
    I'll live alone
    Try so hard to rise above
    ABOUT CHRISTOPHER CROSS
    Christopher Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1979 self-titled debut album produced by Michael Omartian. The lead single “Ride Like The Wind” spent 4 weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was quickly followed up by Cross’ most popular single to date (and first #1 hit) “Sailing”, which later became known as the archetype for the Yacht Rock genre. In 1981, Cross became the first artist in Grammy history to win the “Big Four” most prestigious awards in a single night; Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also “Sailing”), and Best New Artist. Later that year Cross released “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer, Peter Allen, and was the title-theme for the 1981 film “Arthur” starring Dudley Moorre and Liza Minnelli. The song earned Cross his second #1 and the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 1981 Academy Awards. Cross’ sophomore album “Another Page” was released in 1983 and featured the singles “Think of Laura” and “All Right”. Cross has sold over 10M albums worldwide and his songs have been covered and sampled by NSYNC, Puff Daddy, Avant, Shirley Bassey, Dione Warwick, and many more.

    Looking at those scenes of life in America in the early 1980s brings a tear to my eyes. Wishing we still had those simpler times again. God it was awesome flaws and all. Just so much more positive and just a great vibe. I'm so glad I have those memories of being a kid and teen then. Thanks Christopher Cross for this amazing song and your voice. You are a blessing to the ears

    In the mid-80's I was 14. My church youth took a trip to Austin. I had my first girlfriend. I held her hand in the church van. What a magical time. Austin was a small, quirky state capital having around 350,000 back then. I think the metro is over 2 million now. That 1980's Austin only exists in my memory now.

    Just beautiful. A snapshot in time of an American city. People just living their lives, as their lives were then.
    The children in the video have now become adults. The adults in the video have either grown old or passed away. Nobody’s life is unchanged by time.
    I remember “Never Be The Same” as one of my favorite songs of the early 1980’s. I never thought that someday I’d hear the song played along with scenes from the 1980’s and feel so emotional over it.

Operation Iraqi Freedom took its toll on me. If not, thats ok. I listen to your songs EVERYDAY and love them very much. They remind me of how good we had it in the 70’s and 80’s. Thank you making your music. You truly are ONE OF A KIND. God Bless you and your family.
