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

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
