In a crowded room on that summer night When you fell in love, yeah, you knew it right When you saw her She was walking on water She's a picture, framed in a windowsill You give up trying to make time stand still So you hold her Yeah, you just hold her All those nights you spent are gone Do you look back? Now, time goes on Is life repeating history? Is love still a mystery? Did you end up who you thought you would become Before 1981? Girl you ever loved With the windows down and the stars above It had all begun Before 1981 You were young and free and you could see for miles All that life could be with the sun in her eyes She was golden And that's when you told her You couldn't wait and now you know Cause all you want, you can't let go
It should always be this way And we can start today And all those words you said are gone And you look back, now, time goes on Is life repeating history? Is love still a mystery? Did you end up who you thought you would become Before 1981? Girl you ever loved With the windows down and the stars above It had all begun Before 1981 Oh, before 1981 In a crowded room on that summer night When I fell in love, yeah, I knew it right When I saw her So, don't say it's over Is life repeating history? Is love still a mystery? Did you end up who you thought you would become Before 1981 Girl you ever loved With the windows down and the stars above It had all begun Before 1981 Yeah, before 1981 Before 1981
