“Pink Tennis Shoes”

[Vs1]
At night my
mind wanders, to where all the sunsets fall;
Endless
nights together – under stars we’d
share it all;
Your dreams could
never hold me, you tried to make them mine;
Then one night in that meadow nearby, you cried a long goodbye...
[Vs2]
You moved to
urban jungles, where
dreams and truth collide;
I stayed
here in the meadows, where my dreaming days have died;
Your picture’s in my wallet, it's all that's left to show...
Holding hands was magic when I dreamt of tomorrow.
CHORUS
Years rise and fall like mem'ries,
In some worn out vinyl tune;
Would you know me if you saw me,
Do you still wear pink tennis
shoes?
Would you know me if you saw me,
Do you still wear pink tennis shoes?
[Vs3]
I remember when you whispered, “You can still look behind –
In every thought of me and you, I’m there
for you to find”;
But midnight is a monster, that says the past is gone;
That's a lie so tonight I'll drive, and prove that midnight’s wrong.
CHORUS
Years rise and fall like mem'ries,
In some worn out vinyl tune;
Would you know me if you saw me,
Do you still wear pink tennis shoes?
Would you know me if you saw me,
Do you still wear pink tennis shoes?
[Vs4]
I've brought an
old stained envelope, your address smeared by tears;
I’ve driven
there, hoping that’s where, you're riding
out the years…
As I walk up your wet driveway stones, I can feel your baby blues;
You run to
me and I can see, you still wear - pink tennis shoes…
CHORUS
Years rise and fall like mem'ries,
In some worn out vinyl tune;
Would you know me if you saw me,
Do you still wear pink tennis shoes?
Would you know me if you saw me,
Do you still wear pink tennis shoes?
