(Eric Carmen)
I went back to my class reunion
I was wondering how my friends have changed
I was thinking bought a certain girl
I was hoping to find there
I walked in and she caught my eye
Though she was standing with another guy
All the years seemed to fade away
Could it be she still remembered
She remembered
It was so long ago
Could we ever feel that way again
She remembered
Making love 'neath the stars
Oh, the world was so much younger then
When we kissed and my heart stood still
I said I loved her and I always will
'Cause dreams are forever
And some things you never forget
She introduced me to the guy she was with
Then I asked her if she'd like to dance
We hit the floor as the band began
our favorite old slow song
I pulled her close and to my surprise
I heard her whisper as she closed her eyes,
"God it's just like it used to be
I wasn't sure if you'd remember"
I remember
It was so long ago
Could we ever feel that way again
I remember
Making love 'neath the stars
Oh the world was so much younger then
When we kissed and my heart stood still
I said I loved her and I always will
'Cause dreams are forever
And some things you never forget
Oh darlin', please don't try and understand it
Let's be fools for one moment in time
After all, this is not as if we planned it
Just hold me close and remember
when you used to be mine
I remember when
She remembered
It was so long ago
Could we ever feel that way again
She remembered
Making love 'neath the stars
Oh the world was so much younger then
When we kissed and my heart stood still
I said I loved her and I always will
'Cause dreams are forever
And some things you never forget
Well, dreams are forever
And some things you never forget
