Eyes connected across a crowded dance floor
For that moment they were all alone
Forget the noise and the sound of music
What they just shared was never wrong

Single flat in a tenement building
This world to them remained inside
Old man watching from another window
Shut the curtains, cuddle in and hide

Another girl from across the water
Came to the city to make a life
Wore the suits and shared the laughter
But really wanted to be a bride

Met a man she fell in love with
She was happy so was he
Would hidden secrets come back to haunt them
Or end up happy like on TV

Blackened hair, fringe so perfect
Make up on, she’s out for fun
Meets her friends from different circles
Relight my fires her number one

Eyes so bright she lights the darkness
Smiles that only a painting can catch
Laughter so loud that echos around
When she enters a room all people watch

Were they lucky to share those moments
Were they lucky to have that time
Who can remember the summer of sunsets
Who can remember that number nine

How did we lose a time like that
How did we let those people go
How did we destroy the feeling of happiness
Perhaps in time someone will let us know
