[English]

I seen this guy on a Saturday night

You're looking good, yeah you're shining bright

I seen the girls in their high heeled shoes

Looking for love, they've got nothing to lose

What happened through these years?

All I feel is fear and doubt

What happened to the confidence?

I'm older now

Where did it all go wrong my love, where did we fall apart?

Summer in the 70s, living like a king and queen

Looking back on where we are

Where did it all go wrong my love, where did we drift away?

Walking along the Hudson, singing you my love song

Never let it fade away

Seen your smile from across that room

All the girls here they're looking at you

Seen your face under disco lights

The room is spinning but I feel all right

What happened to the girl I was?

I stopped believing in it all

I never realised that life would take my all

Where did it all go wrong my love, where did we fall apart?

Summer in the 70s, living like a king and queen

Looking back on where we are

Where did it all go wrong my love, where did we drift away?

Walking along the Hudson, singing you my love song

Never let it fade away

Running down where they twinkle on Broadway

Young and naïve and we were so damn reckless

Looking through the lovers and you don't know who you are

Now I know that there's nothing I'd change

We were running riot, we were playing the game

True love is only something you hear in the songs

It doesn't really last that long

Where did it all go wrong my love, where did we fall apart?

Summer in the 70s living like a king and queen

Looking back on where we are

Where did it all go wrong my love, where did we drift away?

Walking along the Hudson, singing you my love song

Never let it fade away
