Oh how can I fall asleep tonight
When you re on my mind another night
Memories falling over my head
That happiness- will I ever feel it again?
Dreams came true but only for a while
When I met you that September night

She- a lost poet on the edge of teenage years
He- a proud vagabond with all possessions in one hand
Th traffic never died behind the window's glass
But lulled them up to sleep every winter night
It was cold that year her toes were blessed with his.

He said 'You are too young to see the world for what it gives and takes'
She said 'forget the age and play"
And so he did.

Oh how can I fall asleep tonight
When you re on my mind another night
Memories falling over my head
That happiness -will I ever feel it again?
Dreams came true but only for a while
When I met you that September night.

See the the moon shinning over the world
Are you looking up and dreaming of what it was
That made us shine like the stars,
That made us laugh like we were the chosen ones?
I was drifting off to dreams of past and future
To the tunes coming off your nails
Sweet were the nights and high were we
Through that winter of 1963.

Oh how can I fall asleep tonight
When you re on my mind another night
Memories falling over my head
That happiness will I ever feel it again
Dreams came true but only for a while
When I met you that September night
