Bright lights, big city Was quite extraordinary The drive was pretty I was in perfect company The love of a lifetime Since we were elementary friends The one with the bright eyes Why can't I be optimistic I tried to find the logic logically I had a dream and I could not shake it I was standing up there naked There's fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand The live keep living growing older more into a man And I let her grow away from me Love love is not pretending Time time was meant for mending Memories into all is satisfactory Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles And I let her drive away from me The one with the bright eyes Laughed her way inside this music box Stored away in the corner of my heart And I let her get away from me But I'll never take that day away from me
