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
