Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 [Chorus:] 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]
