i used to search the stars at night
and i felt so safe and small
sweet sounds from a mersey town
and i wanted to ride with yuri gagarin
as he circled all around my world
settle down with caroline
as she sailed all summer long
i think it was somewhere pre stand-up time
somewhere post rubber soul
there was the first caress
there were the labour years
there was the man who walked the moon
something you never really believed
now i'm still here with the eyes of a child
the wonder never grows old
