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 thru 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



(Instrumental break)



We made a fire on the beach that night

And watched the secret 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... (to fade)
