It was in winter, many years ago
outside her front door our tears melt the snow
I held her tightly it hurt so much inside
and when I walked away I remember how we cried

we were too young, that's what her parents said
hearts are blind, love should come from the head
maybe I was blind but now I see it just the same
our love was perfect when she cast it to the flame
and she said

CHORUS
Walk on, don't ever look behind you
Walk on, with your eyes open wide
trust your heart but don't ever let it blind you
Walk on, with my memory by your side

well I walked on, I did just like she said
twenty years have passed and I still feel just as dead
I searched for so long, God knows I tried to find
just the smallest spark of the love we'd left behind

now I see you, me standing in the dark
walking children, slowly through the park
tears in your eyes, old before your day
a cruel man beside you, who drains your life away
and I remember what you said
