As OMD still sings
about hopes and dreams
and the ephemeral
light of summer fades
I know my love
for you never will
Oh baby
those nights
we disappeared
laughing and speeding
into the night
in my freedom fighting Camaro
The vibrancy of the moment
telling us that we were
born to be alive
Reaching that sacred summit
champagne city below
toasting the
irresistible future
with the fresh
starlight in your eyes
You took my heart
and gave me yours
And I made you
soft and enduring
promises in the dark
I am yours
I am yours
I am yours
then, now and forever
