In a crowded room on that summer night

When you fell in love

Yeah you knew it right

When you saw her

She was walking on water

She's a picture framed in a windowsill

You give up trying to make time stand still

So you hold her

Yeah you just hold her

All those nights you spent are gone

Do you look back Now time goes on

Is life repeating history

Is love still a mystery

Did you end up who you

Thought you would become

Before 1981

Girl you ever loved

With the windows down and the stars above

It had all begun

Before 1981

You were young and free

And you could see for miles

All that life could be with

The sun in her eyes

She was golden

And that's when you told her

You couldn't wait and now you know

Cause all you want you can't let go

It should always be this way

And we can start today

And all those words you said are gone

And you look back now

Time goes on

Is life repeating history

Is love still a mystery

Did you end up who you

Thought you would become

Before 1981

Girl you ever loved

With the windows down and the stars above

It had all begun

Before 1981

Oh before 1981

In a crowded room on that summer night

When I fell in love yeah I knew it right

When I saw her

So don't say it's over

Is life repeating history

Is love still a mystery

Did you end up who you

Thought you would become

Before 1981

Girl you ever loved

With the windows down and the stars above

It had all begun

Before 1981

Yeah before 1981

Before 1981
