When i met you we both were young
Young like flowers in bloom
Didn't need to deceive our eyes
To see each day like new
Any place, we belonged
Ask your sis and your ma
When i met you we both were proud
Of the way we kissed goodnight
We believed in things to do
We believed in our time
We believed in me and you
Now look what we've become
Changed places are always sad
And memories do funny things to you
Three bad days, two green eyes, one red coat
And i can see you
Memories can be painful too
When they're mixed up with lies
Mine are bred in the finest days
Of my fine but common life
