By the cathedral many boys' dreams faded quickly Claudia dressed in white; a car would wait to take her away And I feel pretty sure he won't let her go; now a girl has left that I'll never know
And that fire still burns brightly in my mind Born in Tunisia, April 15th, as the war came I would have gladly fought all legions just to meet her in her prime And I still envy Henry for just this thing; that he starred a movie that she was in
Cause that fire still burns brightly in my mind And so many faces have passed her way, there were fights, there were smiles Among these who aren't alive today There were people who made friends with her and stayed with her a while But someone spent his life with her and took her down the aisle Concepts like time and generations separate us But in my mind they're just vague terms that I can break down at will And I do realize that they're dreams you see
