I was told that I'd know and I did, I suppose, chandlers were aglow in the ballroom below I would have noticed your face it would it seem out of place I would offer my hand you would take it and then I think of you, I close my eyes baby no matter how hard I try I can't remember how we first met was there something I said that I ought to regret did my heart skip a beat were there seeds in my teeth were there stars in my eyes on the beautiful night will it come back to me like a lost melody I think of you, I close my eyes baby no matter how hard I try I can't remember how we first met and subsequently we've been moving town to town and incidentally they tore that ballroom down and all that's left me is the vaguest memory of a melody by i don't know where all the notes are supposed to go but I know the music was right on that beautiful night a pretty girl in a band reached out, took my hand and I think of you, I close my eyes baby I don't think I'll ever stop trying to remember how we first met
