I remember your goodbye

and the late December sky

seems so long ago

you were standing on the quay

and you blew a kiss to me

I was sad to go

the ship began to pull away

then I heard a stranger say

it's sad to see true lovers part

'cause sometimes lovers feel a change of heart

out of sight and out of mind



well the stranger's words came true

and the prophecy went through

I knew it would change my world

'cause when I called your home

a whispered conversation

I overheard

I asked you what was going on

you said that I'd been gone too long

and the rain that fell in West Berlin

was nothing like the rain that fell within

out of sight and out of mind



oh, Regine

here am I

so far away

out of sight, out of mind

love has gone

but I will shine

day after day

I will take what love I find



so I made some other plans

took my life in these two hands

and I know I won't turn around

though I often see your face

when I'm in a crowded place

it doesn't get me down

I met a girl with smiling eyes

full of love and worldly wise

she told me she knows what to do

to help me put the memories of you

out of sight and out of mind



Chorus
