2.- Lyrics

I.-

I heard that you're settled down

That you found a girl

And you're married now

I heard that your dreams came true

Guess she gave you things

I didn't give to you

Old friend

Why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back

Or hide from the light?

(Chorus A)

I hate to turn up out of the blue

Uninvited

But I couldn't stay away

I couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face

And that you'd be reminded

That for me, it isn't over

(Chorus B)

Never mind

I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing

But the best for you, too

"Don't forget me", I beg

"I'll remember", you said

(Chorus C)

Sometimes it lasts in love

But sometimes it hurts instead

(Repeat C)

II.-

You know how the time flies

Only yesterday

Was the time of our lives

We were born and raised

In a summer haze

Bound by the surprise

of our glory days

(Chorus A)

(Chorus B)

(Chorus C) (x 2)

III.-

Nothing compares

No worries or cares

Regrets and mistakes

They're memories made

Who would have known

How bitter-sweet this would taste?

(Chorus B)

(Chorus C)

(Chorus B)

(Chorus C) (x 2)
