First time I saw you
You were waiting tables
At the corner diner
I said to myself
"Never seen a woman
Look any finer"
From that moment on
I was stone cold gone
You would be forever in my mind
Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holding on for dear life
Rocking in the arms of your memory
Tonight
It was San Francisco
Silly suits and white ties by the bay
You appeared with your papa
Tears were rolling down your mama's face
Everyone was happy
Showered by well wishers
As we drove away
Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holding on for dear life
Rocking in the arms of your memory
Tonight
I'm living
But dying
I'm laughing
But crying
Somebody tell me
It will be alright
I bought it for your birthday
God, you looked so lovely
In that dress
I took you to a party
Or was it to a nightclub?
I forget
Been twenty years and counting
I'm drowning in your love
A little more each day
Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holding on for dear life
Rocking in the arms of your memory
Tonight
Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holding on for dear life
Rocking in the arms of your memory
Tonight
