lyrics

We met in the grounds of an old country house
It was many years back in July
Where the sunshine beat down on the hard English ground
And Victoria smiled at the sky
We played cricket and cards and we propped up the bar
The piano roared into the night
So I sang Billy Joel and I sang from my soul
And Victoria clapped with delight
Though we beat on like boats in the current of Time
There are memories we can’t leave behind
All the people and places we never forget
Well Victoria’s still on my mind
When the girls met the man then the trouble began
There were clashes of passion and pride
But Victoria’s friendships meant more in the end
So Victoria stood to one side
All the journeys and joys that we treasure and share
All the lives that become intertwined
But I’m lost in a dream of nostalgia it seems
And Victoria’s still on my mind
How she wished that she’d missed watching them as they kissed
The indignity driving her blind
So she ran down the stairs with her tears in her hair
Leaving lovers and losers behind
So we run from the past as it snaps at our heels
But Time’s passage is often unkind
Though it fades over time, well the pain never dies
And it’s still on Victoria’s mind
