The first time I saw you You were waitin' tables at the corner diner I said to myself Never seen a woman look any finer From that moment on I was stone cold gone You would be forever in my mind Now somewhere in the neon lights I'm holdin' on for dear life Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight It was San Francisco Silly suits and white ties by the bay You appeared with your papa Tears were rollin' down your mama's face Everyone was happy Showered by well wishers as we drove away Now somewhere in the neon lights I'm holdin' on for dear life Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight I'm living but dying I'm laughing but crying Somebody tell me it will be alright I bought it for your birthday God you looked so lovely in that dress I took you to a party Or was it to a night club I forget Been twenty years and counting I'm drowning in your love a little more each day Now somewhere in the neon lights I'm holdin' on for dear life
