"Amsterdam" lyrics

Amsterdam
I still remember her hand in my hand
Falling in love in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands
What a week
Vondelpark blooms in the height of spring
She was the prettiest thing that I've ever seen
That I've ever seen

You leaned in and kissed me there under the bridge
And they promised our love, it would last
We fell for each other like we were just kids
And then we fell apart just as fast
Oh, and it's so sad
Remembering us like that

Oh, Amsterdam
I tried to go back but I cannot stand
The weight of my heart in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands
It's just too heavy
The thought for you living there happily
Starting over with someone who isn't me
Who isn't me

And one day I'm sure I can look back and laugh
When I find some reminder of us
I won't look away at the sight of your flag
It won't hurt to hear someone speak Dutch
But I'm not there yet
Guess there's something left

Oh, Amsterdam
Maybe one day I'll finally understand
Why love couldn't last in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands
