When I look back, I think of you
Our high school days, and the rest of our crew
Simple Minds, the best of friends
Duran Duran, thought it would never end
Converse high tops, Secret love
Crazy dreams, we would never fall short of
We helped each other through each growing pain
Ports in the storm, as it poured Purple Rain

Loved you then, love you now
Wish you were here somehow
Laughing the pain away
Watching Footloose at the dollar movies
All the lows, all the highs
I could see in your eyes
We'd all be okay
So long as time never flies
And Molly Ringwald sighs…

Today I look back, how lucky we were
Having each other to get through the blur
Listening to records upstairs after school
Bronski Beat, Violent Femmes, Madness, Specials
So cool
No matter what has come and what will go
Can't forget those days and I want you to know
How grateful I am to you for easing the strain
Sure could use that now, as it pours Purple Rain

Loved you then, love you now
Wish you were here somehow
Laughing the pain away
Watching Footloose at the dollar movies
All the lows, all the highs
I could see in your eyes
We'd all be okay
So long as time never flies...

Crazy dreams, Dollar movies, Easing the pain
Bronski Beat records, There for each other
Through the Purple Rain

Wish you were here somehow
Laughing the pain away
Watching Footloose at the dollar movies
I've seen my life pass me by
Wish I could look in your eyes
And know I'd be okay
It'll be okay
It'll all be okay
I could see in your eyes
We'd all be okay
As long as time never flies
And Molly Ringwald sighs…
