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
