She's the one they're going to miss [Intro] (x2)
In lots of ways [Chorus #1]
I remember way back then when [Middle 8

We would have such a very good time
Such a fine time - Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play, simply waste the
day away - Then we'd say nothing would come
Between us - Two dreamers
