Hey you there, hey you there, may I buy you a drink? And bore you with a story of when I was seventeen.
I was a young soul with no control, no vision for my life, Never dreamed of family, children, or a wife.
It was a cold day, maybe a Sunday, when i felt the Earth stand still, Like living in a movie it all seemed so unreal.
And I won't forget that day, I'll never forget that place And I won't forget that face...
I finished half a cigarette and flicked it to the sky, It almost hit an angel standing in a subway line.
As I walked by, we locked eyes and I've never been the same. I wish I had the courage then to ask her: "What's your name?"
And I won't forget that day, I'll never forget that place And I won't forget that day, I'll never forget that place And I won't forget that face. And time goes on, (time goes on) Time goes on, (time goes on) Time goes on, And she remains, she remains, she remains.
I won't forget that day, I'll never forget that place And I won't forget that day, I'll never forget that place And I won't forget that face. And time goes on, (Time goes on) Time goes on, (Time goes on) Time goes on, And she remains, she remains, she remains.
