Hey you there, hey you there, may I buy you a drink?
And bore you with a story of when I was seventeen.

I was a young soul with no control, no vision for my life,
Never dreamed of family, children, or a wife.

It was a cold day, maybe a Sunday, when I felt the Earth stand still,
Like living in a movie it all seemed so unreal.

And I won't forget that day,
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that face...

I finished half a cigarette and flicked it to the sky,
It almost hit an angel standing in a subway line.

As I walked by, we locked eyes and I've never been the same.
I wish I had the courage then to ask her: "What's your name?"

And I won't forget that day,
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that day,
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that face.
And time goes on, (time goes on)
Time goes on, (time goes on)
Time goes on,
And she remains, she remains, she remains.

I won't forget that day,
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that day,
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that face.
And time goes on, (Time goes on)
Time goes on, (Time goes on)
Time goes on,
And she remains, she remains, she remains.
