Lyrics
When You Were Mine
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff
Dim sum can sure taste fine
Walking in the early morning light
Down Broadway, taxicabs are all at war
But everything’s alright
CHORUS:
There’ll never be another time
Quite like those days when you were mine
It seemed the world around us shined
When you were smiling
Back when you were mine, when you were mine
And oh those summer nights
Salsa and merengue in the air
And down on Bleeker Street, it’s 4am
But no one seems to care
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Oh, how the city seems to draw you in, delights you
You work like a slave to pay those city rents, it spites you
And like a movie,
At the end the credits roll and fade to black
Blinking in the sunlight, it’s another world
You know you can’t turn back
(CHORUS)
