Lyrics
Downtown
Walking alone tonight
I passed the place
Where I first held your hand.
Was the springtime
Cuz there was a flower in your hair
That kept falling out,
And falling down to the ground.
Its funny all the things a heart can remember
Like a nip in the air between lips so warm and tender
But when we don't get to choose
What we keep
Sometimes life is bittersweet.
Now I've tried
Leaving us far behind
Thrown rocks at the street lights
That shine on memory lane.
Then a stranger
Leaving hints of you in the air
Turned my head
Turned my mind to you.
Its funny all the things a heart can remember
Like a wish on a star that fell last September
But when we don't get to choose
What we keep
Sometimes life is bittersweet.
Its funny all the things a heart can remember
Like a nip in the air between lips so warm and tender
But when we don't get to choose
What we keep
Sometimes life is bittersweet.
