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 glow

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
