A song of schoolboy remembrance.

Lyrics

Verse:1

?What are you looking for?? Asked the old man
As I searched for the old redbrick school
I said I?ve spent all my life trying to find
Two names in a heart on a wall
Verse: 2
All these years later, I still think about
That most precious moment of all
The day that we stood on a soapbox and wrote
Two names in a heart on a wall
Chorus: 1
Two names in a heart on a wall,
Written by children when they went to school
The first time we wrote it, it started to rain
And the chalk disappeared, so we tried once again
This time it stayed coz we used some old paint
But could it still be there today

Verse: 3
I was just going to leave when woe and behold
I heard a strange voice in my head
It was my childhood sweetheart, and I
Listened to each word she said
Verse: 4
?Turn the next corner and go down the steps
Follow the lane to the mill
And you?ll see me there by the fountain of youth
In a place where time has stood still?

Chorus: 2

Two names in a heart on a wall
Written by children when they went to school
Time dims the memory, but now, even yet
I can remember the first time we met
And how in the world could I ever forget:
Two names in a heart on a wall

Chorus& Crescendo

Two names in a heart on a wall
Written by children when they went to school
We vowed we would marry then you went away
But you kept your promise and come back today
And now hand in hand we come to the bridge
Where we played hopscotch when we were but kids
And there up above us in letters of gold, are two names in a heart on a wall
And there up above us in letters of gold, are two names in a heart on a wall
