You look at me, babe, I wanna catch on fire

It's buried in my soul, like California gold

You found the light in me that I couldn't find

So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words

Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down and the band won't play

I'll always remember us this way

Lovers in the night, boat's tryin' to ride

We don't know how to rhyme, but damn, we try

But all I really know, you're where I wanna go

The part of me that you will never die

So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words

Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down and the band won't play

I'll always remember us this way

Oh, yeah

I don't wanna be just a memory, baby

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words

Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down and the band won't play

I'll always remember us this way

Oh, yeah

When you look at me and the whole world fades

I'll always remember us

This way
