At seventeen the bridge of dreams 

Can reach across forever 

A long weekend, my mother's friend 

You came in search of weather 



The women I saw, I'd seen years before 

But never like this 

Your kiss on my cheek, said "Find if you seek, 

A moment of bliss"  



I'll never forget you 

Don't ever regret you 

You opened my eyes 

Wherever I go in this world 

As I stumble on shifting sand 

You were there 

When a boy turned man 



Secretly it had to be 

Though honest was our passion 

And every moment in your arms 

Made mockery of fashion 



And after the flow 

The talk of the soul 

Will stay deep inside 



I'll never forget you 

I'll always respect you 

You opened my eyes 

Whatever I do in this life 

As I battle against the tide 



I'll never forget you 

I'll always respect you 

You opened my eyes 

Wherever I go in this world 

As I stumble on shifting sand 

You were there 

When a boy turned man 



You were there 

When a boy turned man 



You were there 

When this boy turned man 

You were there 

When this boy turned man 



You were there 

When this boy turned man
