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
