The first time that I saw you, you were dancin' on the beach
Poetry in motion, but you seemed so out of reach
And the waves were breakin' 'round you, in the California sunset

I made a wish to know you, and touch your golden hair
You turned around and looked at me, and paradise was there
Baby I remember the way you took my hand, yesterday

Time stood still, as we walked into the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever, it seems just like yesterday
Time stood still

We found a little seaside bar, high above the rocks
You were drinking white wine and I was doing shots
I wondered if you'd stay the night, you just took my hand and led the way

Time stood still, as we made love thru the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
Time stood still, time stood still
The memory is locked in our hearts forever, oh yeah

I thought that I'd seen love before
But what you showed me, well that's something more
Love found two strangers walking on the shore
We threw our watches in the sea, I looked at you, you looked at me
And time stood still

(Instrumental break)

We made a fire on the beach that night
And watched the secret circle in the morning light
Maybe there are some things we're not meant to understand, anyway

Time stood still, but love goes on forever
The memory is burned in our hearts forever, oh yes
Time stood still, the moment's gone forever, but I will love you till
Time stands still in our hearts forever, oh yeah
Time stood still, time stood still, time stands still in our hearts forever
Seems just like yesterday - time stood still
Time stands still - time stood still - oh yeah
Time stood still - forever (to fade)
