It was so long ago
Yet just a blink of an eye
You wore that certain smile
That tempted me to stop awhile
We shared our hopes and plans
We walked as we held hands
You took my heart away
On the winds of destiny
Woah-oh, carry me back to the lights of the city
The long hot summer back in 83
Carry me back to the moment we met
As we figured out the mistery
Woah-oh, carry me back to the sound of your laughter
The songs of our rock and roll fantasy
The moment in time when the planets aligned
Won't ya carry me back, I wanna go back, carry me
Sometimes on nights like these
We love to reminisce
And live the memories
And share the secreat of a kiss
Thank God for yesterday
It's never too far away
'Cause we're in love to stay
To live our destiny
Woah-oh, carry me back to the lights of the city
The long hot summer back in 83
Carry me back to the moment we met
As we figured out the mistery
Woah-oh, carry me back to the sound of your laughter
The songs of our rock and roll fantasy
The moment in time when the planets aligned
Won't ya carry me back, I wanna go back, carry me
Carry me back to sunswept days and moonstruck nights
Come on and carry me back to distant shores and harbor lights
Carry me back to making love to the sound of the rain
Though the years have flown
We are still the same
Woah-oh, carry me back to the lights of the city
The long hot summer back in 83
Carry me back to the moment we met
As we figured out the mistery
Woah-oh, carry me back to the sound of your laughter
The songs of our rock and roll fantasy
The moment in time when the planets aligned
Won't ya carry me back, I wanna go back, carry me
