Words & Music: Red West/ Richard Mainegra
I see a change is coming to our lives
It's not the same as it used to be
And it's not too late to realise our mistake
We're just not right for each other

Love has slipped away left us only friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us are the memories we shared
Of times we thought we cared for each other

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us

Some day when she's older, maybe she will understand
Why her mom and dad are not together
The tears that she will cry when I have to say goodbye
Will tear at my heart forever

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
Recorded: 1972/03/27, first released on single

Cant but agree with the sentiments, Elvis at a vulnerable time in his life giving an emotional and brilliant performance on both sides of this single...in my opinion one of, if not the best, coupled up singles the man put out. Always makes u think of his troubles. Love it.

I've loved this song since I was knee high to a grasshoper. Lovely.

I have always loved this sad song. Without a doubt, this song, was close to Elvis' heart, as he and Priscilla, were breaking up, at the time. According to some of the representatives at MGM, the songs, Seperate Ways, Burning Love, and, Always on my Mind, were filmed, in full, at the RCA studios, for the film, Elvis On Tour.

A very nice melody that sticks on your mind. Too bad Elvis never sang it live, or did he ?

the most impressing scene of EOT besides the gospel sequences, the melancholy gets underlined by the Learjet leaving the airport...

I like both sides of this single, but I prefer Separate Ways. Great song. Really tugs at my heart strings.

One of The King's best. I prefer this to Always On My Mind,which is also great. I really like the atmospheric music alongside THE voice. TCB
