I remember when we were younger and
you were making love to me,
And all night, I would hold you tight
under moonlight on the beach,
Our love still burned
like a lighthouse turning
And days turned into weeks,
And pretty soon that Valentine moon,
Stuck his tongue right out at me;
Somehow things got crazy in this tropical haze,
I just don't know what went wrong,
Between you and me on these confused streets,
We're both stumbling along.

CHORUS:
Just let her go -
She's not the girl that you thought she was,
She's living on Paradise Drive,
And sleeps with the stars in her eyes.

Life keeps rolling on
and my credit's all gone,
And I'm very nearly beat,
But all night - wanna hold you tight
While the band plays "Stand By Me",
Our love still burns
Like the lighthouse turning
And days turn into weeks
And pretty soon that Valentine moon
Sticks his tongue right out at me.
Somehow things got crazy in this tropical haze,
And I don't know what went wrong,
Between you and me on these confused streets,
We're both stumbling along.
