The first time that I saw you You were dancin' on the beach Poetry in motion But you seemed so out of reach And the waves Were breakin' 'round you In the California sunset I made a wish to know you And touch your golden hair You turned around and looked at me And paradise was there Baby I remember the way you took my hand Yesterday Time stood still As we walked into the night together The memory is locked in our hearts forever It seems just like yesterday Time stood still We found a little seaside bar High above the rocks You were drinking white wine And I was doing shots I wondered if you'd stay the night You just took my hand and led the way Time stood still As we made love through the night together The memory is locked in our hearts forever Time stood still Time stood still The memory is locked in our hearts forever Oh yeah I thought that I'd seen love before But what you showed me Well that's something more Love found two strangers walking on the shore We threw our watches in the sea I looked at you you looked at me And time stood still We made a fire on the beach that night And watched the seagulls circle in the morning light Maybe there are some things We're not meant to understand Anyway Time stood still But love goes on forever The memory is burned in our hearts forever Oh yes Time stood still The moment's gone forever But I will love you till Time stands still in our hearts forever Oh yeah Time stood still Time stood still Time stands still in our hearts forever Seems just like yesterday Time stood still Time stands still Time stood still Oh yeah Time stood still Forever
They butchered this, my favorite song on "Backlash". From guitar,... tone of guitar, and John forgetting lyrics and rushing lyrics (..."I looked at you, you looked at me") in parts. This is why performers rehearse. And rehearse. Because that is what is needed to give such an elegant rock song the integrity it deserves!
Interesting, but I can't stand to hear the sloppy guitar of these players after I've heard the beautiful original playing of Neal Schon. Woops, it's Kyle from Matchbox Twenty! I guess it's just different--love ya, Kyle, but you can't touch Neal here!
good rendition of this song from bad english second album how ever this groove always reminds me of the mask of smiles album anyway john always brilliant as ever
