Hey, remember me, We met ten years ago
At CBGB's, on New Year's eve
Back when you were tending bar
You had a band of your own called The Revlons
And I liked your songs
I don't know how
I must have lost my head
An abandonment like that was easier then
And I don't know why we never met again
But I still think about you sometimes every now and then
Hey remember when you toook me to the movies
To see Soylent Green
I can't believe it was such a long time ago
So much has happened, I hear you had twins
Are you doing what you wanna do
Did you follow your intentions
All the dreams you had
Has even a single one of them come true?
I ask myself as I'm asking you
Hey, I'm just asking
I'm just asking to you
To you
You were the one most likely to
Ssucceed without ever really trying
You had so much to live up to
I was married for awhile, it ended in tragedy
Oh well, enough about me,
I don't know how
I must have lost my head
An abandonment like that was easier then
Somehow, are you doing what you wanted to,
Did you follow those intentions through, and
All the dreams you had, Have any or all of them come true,
If they haven't yet I hope they do
Hey, remember me, We met at CBGB's
At the bar
Do you remember me?
Remember me?
Remember me, do you?
Do you remember?
Hey, remember me
Hey, remember me
Hey, remember
Hey, remember me
Hey, remember
Hey, remember me
Hey, hey, hey do you remember me?
