IT'S DIFFERENT NOW
(Clive Westlake)

Clodagh Rodgers - 1972
Cilla Black - 1972
Elvis Presley - 1973 (Rehearsal Recording)

I used to think that when you fell in love
Love would never change
But it's different now
And to those who've never been in love
This may seem very strange
But it's so different now
I used to wonder if the feeling that we had
Would last and never fade away
But it's different now
It changes every day

I used to look at you and tell myself
How wonderful you are
But, you're so different now
For to me you're much more wonderful
More wonderful by far
Yes, you're so different now
There's more to love than holding hands and stealing kisses
When you think that there is no one else around
There's the good times and the bad
There's the ups and the downs we've had
That's the difference now 
And I'm so glad I still have you

For I know you so well, I believe I can tell
What you're thinking before you think it yourself
And I'm happy to say you feel the same about me
It's a look in the eye, a smile on the face
A tear that you cry, a hair out of place
It's you as you are and not what you should be

There's always something new to see
I look at you, you look at me
And we're so different now
Love gets better every day
And in some peculiar way
It's always different now
And if we ever said goodbye
You'd be lost and so would I
And that's the difference now
Between a love just for a day
And a love that's here to stay
That's the difference now, the difference now
