The summer air was heavy and sweet 

You and I on a crowded street 

There was music everywhere 

I can see us there 



In a happy little foreign town 

Where the stars are upside down 

A half a world away 

Far far away 





I remember 

You were laughing 

We were so in love 

We were so in love 

And the band played 

Songs that we had never heard 

But we danced anyway 

We never understood the words 

We just sang "oh, la la la..." 

And we danced anyway



They say you cant go back 

But, baby, I dont believe that 

Come along with me 

Come on and dance with me 



Maybe if I hold you close 

Baby, we could just let go 

Of these things that tie us down 

We'll come back around 



You remember 

We were laughing 

We were so in love 

so in love 

And the band played 

Songs that we had never heard 

But we danced anyway 

We never understood the words 

We just sang "oh, la la la..." 

And we danced anyway



You remember 

You were laughing 

We were so in love 

We were so in love 

And the band played 

Songs that we had never heard 

But we danced anyway 

We never understood the words 

We just sang "oh, la la la..." 

And we danced anyway
