We take so much for granted, he and I 
We share a life in one dimension 
Our problems always seem to cloud the sky 
But we don't pay them much attention 
And with every day 
We drift apart 
I can feel it in my heart 
That man is not the man I used to know 
And though a part of me still needs him so 
there's something wrong 
And I feel my love die 
Slowly, slowly 

No angry words and no heart-rending scenes 
And we should take it as a warning 
We keep on going through the old routines 
Exchanging kisses in the morning 
And with every day we drift apart 
And the fear is in my heart 
I read the signs and I should be mature 
And yet a child could not be more unsure 
ther's something wrong 
And I feel my love die 
Slowly, slowly 

Ourr passion's just a distant memory 
And in its place a dull frustration 
A cold indifference where there used to be 
At least a frequent irritation 
But a feeling still 
Of tenderness 
And of pity, so I guess? I'll be the woman in his arms tonight 
If he should need someone to hold him tight 
He's like a child 
But I feel my love die 
Slowly 
That man is not the man I used to know 
And though a part of me still needs him so 
there's something wrong 
And I feel my love die 
Slowly, slowly
