She Remains

Hey you there, hey you there
May I buy you a drink?
And boy, you heard the story of when I was seventeen?

I was a young soul with no control
No vision for my life
Never dreamed of family, children, or a wife

It was a cold day, maybe a Sunday
When I felt the Earth stand still
Like living in a movie, it all seemed so unreal

Then I won't forget that day
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that face

I finished half a cigarette
And flicked it to the sky
It almost hit an angel standing in a subway line

As I walked by, we locked eyes
And I've never been the same
I wish I had the courage then to ask her, "what's your name?"

And I won't forget that day
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that day
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that face
And time goes on, time goes on, time goes on
And she remains, she remains, she remains

I won't forget that day
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that day
I'll never forget that place
And I won't forget that face
And time goes on, time goes on, time goes on
And she remains, she remains, she remains
