| It was San Francisco |
| Silly suits and white ties by the bay |
| You appeared with your papa |
| Tears were rolling down your mother's face |
| Everyone was happy |
| Showered by well wisherâs as we drove away |
| Now somewhere in the neon lights |
| I'm holding on for dear life |
| Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight |

| God you looked so lovely in that dress |
| I took you to a party |
| Or was it to a nightclub I forget |
| Been twenty years and counting |
| I'm drowning in your love a little more each day |
| Now somewhere in the neon lights |
| I'm holding on for dear life |
| Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight |
| Now somewhere in the neon lights |
| I'm holding on for dear life |
| Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight |
