The first time that I saw you, you were dancin' on the beach Poetry in motion, but you seemed so out of reach And the waves were breakin' 'round you, in the California sunset
I made a wish to know you, and touch your golden hair You turned around and looked at me, and paradise was there Baby I remember the way you took my hand, yesterday
Time stood still, as we walked into the night together The memory is locked in our hearts forever, it seems just like yesterday Time stood still
We found a little seaside bar, high above the rocks You were drinking white wine and I was doing shots I wondered if you'd stay the night, you just took my hand and led the way
Time stood still, as we made love thru the night together The memory is locked in our hearts forever Time stood still, time stood still The memory is locked in our hearts forever, oh yeah
I thought that I'd seen love before But what you showed me, well that's something more Love found two strangers walking on the shore We threw our watches in the sea, I looked at you, you looked at me And time stood still
(Instrumental break)
We made a fire on the beach that night And watched the secret circle in the morning light Maybe there are some things we're not meant to understand, anyway
Time stood still, but love goes on forever The memory is burned in our hearts forever, oh yes Time stood still, the moment's gone forever, but I will love you till Time stands still in our hearts forever, oh yeah Time stood still, time stood still, time stands still in our hearts forever Seems just like yesterday - time stood still Time stands still - time stood still - oh yeah Time stood still - forever... (to fade)
