I Still Remember

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I, I still remember How you looked that afternoon There was only you You said, 'it's just like a full moon.' Blood beats faster in our veins We left our trousers by the canal And our fingers - they almost touched You should have asked me for it I would have been brave You should have asked me for it How could I say no? And our love could have soared Over playgrounds and rooftops Every park bench screams your name I kept your tie I've gone wherever you wanted (I still remember) And on that teachers' training day We wrote our names on every train Laughed at the people off to work So monochrome and so lukewarm And I can see our days are becoming nights I could feel your heartbeat across the grass We should have run I would go with you anywhere I should have kissed you by the water You should have asked me for it I would have been brave You should have asked me for it How could I say no? And our love could have soared Over playgrounds and rooftops Every park bench screams your name I kept your tie I would let you if you asked me I still remember
