At seventeen the bridge of dreams   Can reach across forever   A long weekend, my mother's friend   You came in search of weather      The women I saw, I'd seen years before   But never like this   Your kiss on my cheek, said   "Find if you seek a moment of bliss"      I'll never forget you, don't ever regret you   You opened my eyes   Wherever I go in this world, as I stumble on shifting sand   You were there, when a boy turned man      Secretly it had to be   Though honest was our passion   And every moment in your arms   Made mockery of fashion      And after the glow   The talk of the soul   Will stay deep inside      I'll never forget you, I'll always respect you   You opened my eyes   Whatever I do in this life   As I battle against the tide      I'll never forget you, I'll always respect you   You opened my eyes   Wherever I go in this world, as I stumble on shifting sand   You were there, when a boy turned man      You were there, when a boy turned man   You were there, when this boy turned man   You were there, when this boy turned man   You were there, when this boy turned man
