The first time I saw you
You were waitin' tables at the corner diner
I said to myself
Never seen a woman look any finerFrom that moment on
I was stone cold gone
You would be forever in my mindNow somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonightIt was San Francisco
Silly suits and white ties by the bay
You appeared with your papa
Tears were rolin' down your mother's faceEveryone was happy
Showered by well wishers
As we drove awayNow somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonightI'm living but dying
I'm laughing but crying
Somebody tell me it will be alrightI 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 forgetBeen twenty years and counting
I'm drowning in your love a little more each dayNow somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonightNow somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight
