I still remember  the day
about six years away
Your smiling face
Saw you from the stage
in this little church-like place
Fell in love with you
We never could talk about it
me being so shy

Seventeen my beauty queen
I let you slip away
Strawberries in Hungary
I couldn't make you stay
 

Yet another day
this time five years away
again by chance
Met afterwards backstage
did an interview with grace
and then we knew
We never could talk about it
me being so shy

Seventeen my beauty queen
I let you slip away
In a midsummer night's dream
I couldn't make you stay

Seventeen my beauty queen
I let you slip away
In a midsummer night's dream
I couldn't make you stay
Seventeen my beauty queen
I let you slip away
Strawberries in Hungary
I couldn't make you stay
walk away
