Kayleigh Lyrics

(Fish, Steve Rothery, Mark Kelly, Pete Trewavas, Ian Mosley)

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall

Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls

Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square

Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair 

By the way didn't I break your heart? 

Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart

So sorry, I never meant to break your heart

But you broke mine

Kayleigh is it too late to say I'm sorry?

And Kayleigh could we get it together again? 

I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end

Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you

And Kayleigh I thought that we'd always be friends 

We said our love would last forever 

So how did it come to this bitter end?

Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars

Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize Park

Do you remember dancing in stilettoes in the snow

Do you remember you never understood I had to go 

By the way, didn't I break your heart?

Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart 

So sorry, I never meant to break your heart

But you broke mine

Kayleigh I just wanna say I'm sorry

But Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone 

To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home

Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song 

Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone

Maybe it will prove that we were right 

Or ever prove that I was wrong
