When you see me
Do you remember the times when we traveled
South of the borderline when love was young
Time was on our side
We danced
In the Rio Grande
And we listened to all the Mexican bands
Singin' songs of love
When our hearts were young, yeah

And it's been five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
The girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
