Another summer's day is rising
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
The heat rolls off the sidewalk
It's gonna be a hundred and five
Something casts a shadow
There's not a storm cloud in the sky
But shining like a diamond
There before my eyes
Like a vision sent from heaven
With an angel's smile

I could try to write a love song
But I don't know where to start
If I had a tattoo needle
I'd write your name across my heart
I know that nothing lasts forever
But there's one thing still remains
If I had a tattoo needle
I'd write your name across my heart
Across my heart

I look to the horizon
And the sun goes down alone
We got one last night together
'Cos tomorrow I'll be gone
Should you pass this way again
Would you think of me and smile
Just a momentary vision
There before your eyes
I'll hold on to the memory
As the years roll by

I could try to write a love song
But I don't know where to start
If I had a tattoo needle
I'd write your name across my heart
It seems that nothing lasts forever
But there's one thing still remains
If I had a tattoo needle
I'd write your name across my heart

You and me were two ships
That passed each other by
Well I can't explain why it keeps on playing on
my mind

Shining like a diamond
There before my eyes
Like a vision sent from heaven
With an angel's smile

I could try to write a love song
But I don't know where to start
If I had a tattoo needle
I'd write your name across my heart
It seems that nothing lasts forever
But there's one thing still remains
If I had a tattoo needle
I'd write your name
I could try to write a love song
But I don't know where to start
Don't know where to start
If I had a tattoo needle
I'd write your name across my heart
It seems that nothing lasts forever
But there's one thing still remains
If I had a tattoo needle
I'd write your name across my heart
Your name across my heart
Your name across my heart
