In 1978 I met you at the park 
we scraped our knees together oh 
we laughed until the dawn 

As time passed by we grew out our drems a fade of mind 
and life's not what it seems then our eyes were opened 
we both saw where we stood baby must it be this way 

In 1979 in one years so much has changed 
it's time to leave tomorrow and to fade yesterday 

As time passed by we grew out our dreams a fade of mind 
and life's not what it seems then our eyes were opened 
we both saw where we stood baby must it be this way 

Pack your hopes forget the dream 
life is never what it seems 
oh I never knew it would be this way 

Pay the banker pay the rent 
got no money to be spent 
oh I never knew I really had a say boy 
you're not the only one to need a hand 

And I know that you are heaven sent 
though I know this could be the end my friend 

1978 we grew out of our dreams 
1979 and life's now what it seems 
1978 we grew out of our dreams 
and life's now what it seems
