Lyrics
E C#min A B
It was a long time ago but it feels like yesterday
E C#min A B
Your head on my shoulder as the band began to play
C#min A B
The smoke filled room the lights down low
C#min A B
The music had us swaying nice and slow
Amin E
The scent of your hair and your breathe on my skin
Amin B
Had me burning up It was as hot as sin
E C#min A B
Over and over shadows in the night
E C#min A B
Over and over in and out of time
F#min Amin
Your memory Is stuck in repeat
C#min F#
I just can't deny
A B
My heart won't let you go
E
Over and over
I can remember your face but not your name
How that can be I know I never could explain
The smoke filled room the lights down low
The music had us swaying nice and slow
The scent of your hair and your breathe on my skin
Had me burning up It was as hot as sin
Over and over shadows in the night
Over and over in and out of time
Your memory Is stuck in repeat
I just can't deny
My heart won't let you go
Over and over
