The first time I saw you

You were waiting tables at the corner diner

I said to myself

Never seen a woman look any finer

From that moment on
I was stone cold gone

You would be forever in my mind

Now somewhere in the neon lights

I'm holding on for dear life
A A7 D
Rocking in the arms of your memory tonight

It was San Francisco

Silly suits and white ties by the bay

You appeared with your papa
A7 D
Tears were rolling down your mother's face

Everyone was happy

Showered by well wishers as we drove away

Now somewhere in the neon lights

I'm holding on for dear life

Rocking in the arms of your memory tonight

I bought it for your birthday

God you looked so lovely in that dress

Been twenty years and counting

I'm holding on for dear life
