Roger C. Miller - What We Really Were lyrics

It seems years and years ago that People saw the sun We would sleep on beaches (?) Now must I go sleep alone Between clean whole sheets But when I was with you we slept wrapped up In the (?) Of course you must know that it did all end How then to recall what we really were Of course you must know that it did all end Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts For long That haunting song you sang about Picking roses and dropping them in the beloveds lap as she dreamed The translation clumsy Maybe it was that other song you sang about the beautiful dress that gets torn (Saw the sun, we would sleep on beaches...now must I go sleep alone between clean whole sheets, but when I was with you we slept wrapped up, it seems years and years ago that people saw the sun, we would sleep on beaches) (Repeat 3rd verse)
