You were waitin' tables at the corner diner
 I said to myself
 Never seen a woman look any finer

 From that moment on
 I was stone cold gone
 You would be forever in my mind

 Now somewhere in the neon lights
 I'm holdin' on for dear life
 Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

 It was San Francisco
 Silly suits and white ties by the bay
 You appeared with your papa
 Tears were rollin' down your mama's face

 Everyone was happy
 Showered by well wishers as we drove away

 Now somewhere in the neon lights
 I'm holdin' on for dear life
 Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

 I'm living but dying
 I'm laughing but crying
 Somebody tell me it will be alright

 I bought it for your birthday
 God you looked so lovely in that dress
 I took you to a party
 Or was it to a night club I forget

 Been twenty years and counting
 I'm drowning in your love a little more each day

 Now somewhere in the neon lights
 I'm holdin' on for dear life
 Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

 Now somewhere in the neon lights
 I'm holdin' on for dear life
 Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight
