What an underrated song, it's a shame that this kind of music is rare nowadays.

[marvinrosenau]

These guys are the epitome of late '80's-1990 cool. Ray Bans, Chelsea boots, great hair, hypnotizing beat...

[awwgez]

Don't let the friend's theme song fool you, the Rembrandt's are awesome. You just dont realize how good things are until way too late. That's just the way it is.

I'm 76 and this is one hell of a song. Great name for a group too. Harmony is great. Fine piece of music for all time.

I was 17 when this was released. I've always liked this song. 46 now. Life moves too quick.

Anyone listening to this terrific song in 2024 ? ❤

[RhymesWithCarbon]

I always liked this song MUCH more than I ever liked that theme from that tv show. The harmony in this song is extremely intelligent, the lyrics are reflective, the performance is inspiring. Love it.

This song will always be so special for me. I was living with my best friend Derek back in 1990. He introduced me to Summer on New Years Eve, 1990 and we would get married a year later to the day, New Years Eve 1991!! This was our song throughout 1990 and we watched the video on VH1 all the time!! What a great time in my life!! Everyday was a blast! She moved in with us, and it was just awesome!!! Derek's girlfriend was Summers best Friend and it was always a party!!! What a wonderful time to be alive, it's sad that we only realize how great our life was once it's gone....
Sadly, Derek passed away back in 2011 and I haven't spoken to Summer or Diane in 33 years😔....
I will forever remember my Friends and my ex when I listen to this on, shine on and never waste a day of your life....👍❤️‍🔥✨️🎸🎶🎵

Freakin love that song. So smooth. Gives you the perfect 90s-Feeling

This Rembrandt’s, and the Friends theme Rembrandt’s seem like 2 different bands. I absolutely love this song, it’s so beautifully written, the vocals are spot on, and it tells a story and means something. The guitars sound perfect too, Tele is the perfect tone.

i was little kid and i remember tv show "beverly hills 90210". i think i heard this song first time in that show. im from croatia, 90s war arround all of us but still very nice memories of my childhood. great song, heard today on radio so i remembered :)

[EkusuMakina]

My childhood anthem. Playing this before going to bed every single night makes me wanna dream with somebody.. Thank you Rembrandts for such a masterpiece!

[philhurd]

I was 27 in 1990 when I first heard this great, tasteful song. The guitar sounds are perfect, too! What in the hell has happened to music since?!

[jeearr]

Love it, love it, love it. So true “You can’t get back what you’ve erased.”

[heidisnider]

Loved it when it came out in 1990 and love it now in 2018!

[christalr]

This song will forever remind me of my senior year of high school and my first love. He is gone now, but I will remember him forever and miss him with all my heart.

[delainetownsend]

Crazy time in my life, when this was popular but God I loved that

[MargotteCosmo]

Such a good song!!! I feel nostalgic for the 90s

[danielmartinelli]

If they sang this today it would be a hit. Reason why it didn’t get much recognition in the 90s was because there were a lot better artists back then compared to now

[ХристяПасічник]

Do you remember once upon a time
When you were mine
The stars above were bright and new
I pulled them down for you
Just when I fell in love again
You said that all good things must end
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby, whoa, whoa
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby
I've never had a hand for solitaire
It's so unfair
That I should have my chance and lose
I feel like I've been used
To help you through another night
You spelled it out in black and white
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby, whoa, whoa
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby
The tides that once had carried you away
They bring you back today
The time has washed away my pain
I find that things have changed
And disappeared without a trace
You can't get back what you've erased
And I say baby
That's just the way it is, baby, that's just the way it is
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby, ooh, that's just the way it is
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby (just the way it is)
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby, baby
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby
Baby, baby
That's just the way it is, baby
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby
