Just like Philadelphia Freedom means a lot to me In between the place I’ve been And where I’m goin’ I can see America Tryin’ not to show her age Even though the winds of change Keep on blowin’
And I would lay your body down and rock your tears away But it’s much too late for now to be like yesterday And the time is running out and we still have to say Goodbye
Remember Philadelphia When the world was young and warm So in love and living for Everything new But I know Philadelphia The winter wind will slowly take Your heart and soul until it makes Nothing of you
And I would lay your body down and rock your tears away But it’s much too late for now to be like yesterday And the time is running out and we still have to say Goodbye
Flash a peace sign take a bow Though we may not know it now Things are never gonna be the same Here on Seventh Avenue I tip my old top hat to you I hope you find somebody who Will love you like I do
'Cause I would lay your body down and rock your tears away But it’s much too late for now to be like yesterday And the time is running out and we still have to say Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
