There was that girl I used to know

Shed tease me about my name

Fan the embers long enough

I sometimes catch her flame

The soothing voice of distance tells me

That was just a fling

Other music fills my ears

But I still hear her sing :

She sings :

Paddy joe, say paddy joe

Dont you remember me ?

How long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go

Paddy joe, say paddy joe

Dont you remember me ?

How long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go free

There was a boy I used to be

I guess that he was cold

If she came to buy him now

How cheaply hed be sold

But the light is gone and it is dark

What used to be the sky

Is suddenly embarrassing

To the naked eye

You see :

Paddy joe, see paddy joe

Cant face this memory

How long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go

Paddy joe, see paddy joe

Cant face this memory

How long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go

Long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go

Long ago one stupid night

We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free
