paradise drive

Paradise Drive

I remember when we were younger and

you were making love to me,

And all night, I would hold you tight

under moonlight on the beach,

Our love still burned

like a lighthouse turning

And days turned into weeks,

And pretty soon that Valentine moon,

Stuck his tongue right out at me;

Somehow things got crazy in this tropical haze,

I just don’t know what went wrong,

Between you and me on these confused streets,

We’re both stumbling along.

CHORUS:

Just let her go –

She’s not the girl that you thought she was,

She’s living on Paradise Drive,

And sleeps with the stars in her eyes.

Life keeps rolling on

and my credit’s all gone,

And I’m very nearly beat,

But all night – wanna hold you tight

While the band plays “Stand By Me”,

Our love still burns

Like the lighthouse turning

And days turn into weeks

And pretty soon that Valentine moon

Sticks his tongue right out at me.

Somehow things got crazy in this tropical haze,

And I don’t know what went wrong,

Between you and me on these confused streets,

We’re both stumbling along.

CHORUS:
