"1984" lyrics

I've got a picture of you
Taken long ago
On a summer's night, in 1984
It's the night I was born
There I am, so small, in your arms

In 1984
I wish, that I remember, how it felt that night in your arms
I wish, that I could get back there
When we both had the chance, to get it right

In 1984
Olympics on the TV, in the quiet hospital ward
1984
The Berlin Wall still stood, it was yet to fall

All these memories of you, I keep them too close
They're fading every day
Like photos in the sun
Those days I was young
Nothing else but your son
The apple of your eye

In 1984
I wish, that I remember, how it felt that night in your arms
I wish, that I could get back there
When we both had the chance, to get it right

The love we shared
Did we lose it somewhere on our way?
The futility of our regret, is such a heavy weight
The anger that burns in me, I can't sustain
And I'm so scared that I'm
And I'm so scared that I'm
Too late

Olympics on the TV (too late)
In the quiet hospital ward
In 1984

I've got a picture of you
Hanging on my wall
It haunts me sometimes
Then I forget again
I know one day
I'll become that picture
And I hope I do better
