When the night returns just like a friend.......
When the evening comes to set me free............
When the quiet hours that wait........
Beyond the day make ..............
Peaceful sounds in me ...................
Took a drag from my last cigarrette ........
Took a drink from a glass of old red wine.......
I closed my eyes and I could ......
Make it real and
Feel it one more time ........
Can You hear it Babe?.........(Riff1)
Can you hear it Babe?.........(Riff2)
From another Time From another place
Can you remember it Babe?
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade...................
If you know what I mean...................If you know what I mean Babe...
..........................................
Heres to the songs we used to sing........
and heres to the times we used to know...........
Its hard to hold them
In our arms again but
Hard to let them go.
Do You hear it Babe?.........(Riff1)
Do you hear it Babe?.........(Riff2)
It was another Time It was another place
Do you remember it Babe?
Repeat Chorus.
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade...................
If you know what I mean...................If you know what I mean
............If you know what I mean
If you know what I mean Babe.
If you know what I mean Babe
RiFF1 Am
