This Side Of Paradise - Smokie

Well my beating heart exploded with a mighty crash

And my legs were shaking things were moving way too fast

In the daylight hour I don't remember her name

I know deep inside my life won't be the same

I'll hold on to her memory

She said life would be simple love would be so sweet

As I held out my hand to another lonely heartbeat

I know I must find this mysterious girl

My whole life in turmoil my hearts in a whirl

So I'll hold on hold on hold on to her memory

What you doing this side of paradise

Trying to make me pay the price

But you don't know the way I feel

Is this a dream or is it real oh oh oh oh oh

Like a flash of lightning she came down to me

In a blinding moment I found I could see

All her face in its glory a body so tight

I know I must find I'll look into the night

In a world of adventure the name of the game

It's the one that we live in no person's the same

So I'll hold on hold on hold on to her memory

What you doing this side of paradise

Trying to make me pay the price

But you don't know the way I feel

Is this a dream or is it real

In my mind I'm trying to see her perfect face

But the image has gone just a time another place

In a blinding moment I found I could see

Her face in its glory it shone down on me

Still I hold on hold on hold on to that memory

What you doing this side of paradise

Trying to make me pay the price

But you don't know the way I feel

Is this a dream or is it real

What you doing this side of paradise

Trying to make me pay the price

But you don't know the way I feel

Is this a dream or is it real

What you doing this side of paradise

Trying to make me pay the price

But you don't know oh you don't know

Is this a dream or is it real
