Do you remember
Those hazy amber days
We were but children
Having the time of our lives
We had no regard, no respect
A floor was a bed
And a bed held the mysteries of life
They had to end
But so soon?
And to sit in the dark
Of my lonely room
Made it all seem so cruelly real
Say no goodbyes, no regrets
For the things that we said
How we said
That we only wanted an answer
To our dreams
We wanted an answer to our dreams
Ignorance is bliss
When adulthood we can resist
To embrace the years with grace
What a waste
What a waste
The fun we had
The fun we'll have
Reckless immaturity
For stars we are
And stars we'll be
Just you and me
For stars we are
And stars we'll be
Just you and me
Try hard to make the world look bright today
Try hard to make my nightmares go away
Try hard to keep the fear away
The cold of day, try hard
Try hard to play the games the world would like you to play
But people, they don't really listen
Their smiles are the keys to the prison
I'll call on the angels, to hold my head softly
They'll always remember . . . Stories of Johnny
Try hard to make my anger go away
Try hard to make my money last the day (no way)
Try hard to keep away the pain
Stop the rain, try hard
Try hard to fly a thousand miles away
But people, they don't really listen
Their smiles are the keys to the prison
I'll call on the angels, to hold my head softly
They'll always remember . . . Stories of Johnny
My smoky lover . . . will close my eyes forever
Stories of Johnny
There are times
You can't help but to cry
And time won't heal
By and by
There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt won't heal
With the years
But, I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you
There are times
When the world is cruel
And I won't be there for you
There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt will heal
With the years
I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you
When storms come our way
When tides wash away
When storms come our way
When tides wash away
I will always love you
Always love you
Love you love you love you love you
Always love you
