I can remember the words that you say,

Seems like forever or was it today

The cold light of dawn broke in two,

The one part of me that was you?

'Cause you're the one that went and stole a piece of my heart.



High on our hillside we both shared the view

Talking of people we thought we knew,

How could that dream fade away

And fall on the ground where we lay?



'Cause you're the one that went and stole a piece of my heart.



Oh well,

You must be

Twenty three by now,

Married

With kids of your own.

And the little boy

Is three:

Does he look like me?

It's a long way from freedom,

It's a long way from home.



I can remember the words that you say,

Seemed like forever was taken away,

When time made its own point of view

On the promise two young people knew



'Cause you're the one that went and stole a piece of my heart.
