Lyrics

I

heard

that you’re

set tled down,

that you

found a girl

and you’re

mar ried now.

I heard

that your dreams came true, guess she gave you things

I did n’t give to you.

Old friend,

why are you so shy?

Ain’t like you to hold back

or hide

from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue un in vit ed, but I could n’t stay a way, I could n’t fight it.

I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be re mind ed that, for me,

it is n’t o ver.

Nev er mind, I’ll find

some one like you.

I wish noth ing but the best

for you,

too.

Don’t for get me, I beg.

I re mem ber you said,

“Some times it lasts in love, but some times it hurts in stead.”

Some times it lasts in love, but some times it hurts in stead.

You know

how the time flies,

on ly

yes ter day

was the time of our lives.

We were born and raised

in a

sum mer haze, bound by the sur prise

of our glo ry days.

I hate to turn up out of the blue un in vit ed, but I could n’t stay a way, I could n’t fight it.

I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be re mind ed that, for me,

it is n’t o ver.

lasts in love, but some times it hurts in stead.”

Noth ing com pares, no wor ries or cares, re grets and mis takes, they’re mem o ries made.

Who would have known how

bit ter sweet

this would taste?

Nev er mind, I’ll find

some one like you.

I wish noth ing but the best

for you,

too.

Don’t for get me, I beg.

I re mem ber you said,

“Some times it lasts in love, but some times it hurts in stead.”

Nev er mind, I’ll find

Some times it lasts in love, but some times it hurts in stead.

Someone Like You by Adele — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Someone Like You by Adele in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 60 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
