A 
Bright lights, big city 
D 
Was quite extraordinary. 
A 
The drive was pretty. 
D 
I was in perfect company. 
A 
The love of a lifetime, 
D 
Since we were elementary friends; 
A 
The one with the bright eyes.. 
D 

A   D 
Why cant I be optimistic? 
A   D 
I tried to find the logic logically. 
A   D 
I had a dream and I could not shake it. 
A  D                       
I was standing up there naked. 
A 

A                                   D 
There's fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand 
A                      D                          
The live keep living; growing older more into a man.. 
A   D   
And I let her grow away from me. 


A       D 
Love.. love is not pretending. 
A       D 
Time.. time was meant for mending 
A            D 
Memories into all is satisfactory, 
         A                        D                 A 
Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles. 
A      D                       A  
And I let her drive away from me. 

A 
The one with the bright eyes 
D                                   A 
Laughed her way inside this music box; 
D                                  A     
Stored away in the corner of my heart.  
A        D                  A 
And I let her get away from me 
D                             A            
But I'll never take that day away from me!
