D
Well, I reDmember every little thing
as if it happened only Gyesterday
CParking by the lake,
and there was Gnot another car in Dsight
And I never had a girl,
looking any better than Gyou did
And all the F#kids at school,
they were Gwishing they were Ame that Dnight
And now our Bbbodies are Foh so Cclose and Dtight
It never Bbfelt so Fgood, it never Cfelt so Dright
And we're Gglowing like the Dmetal on the Aedge of a Dknife
And we're Gglowing like the Dmetal on the Aedge of a Dknife
C'mGon! Hold on Dtight!
C'mGon! Hold on Ftight!A
Though it's Gcold and Alonely in the Ddeep Adark Gnight
