Simona You're getting older Your journey's been etched On your skin Simona Wish I had known that What seemed so strong Has been and gone I would call you up everyday Saturday night And we'd both stay out until the morning light And we sang, here we go again And though time goes by I will always be In a club with you In nineteen seventy three Singing, here we go again Simona Wish I was sober So I could see clearly now The rain has gone Simona I guess it's over My memory plays our tune The same old song I would call you up everyday Saturday night And we'd both stay out until the morning light And we sang, here we go again And though time goes by I will always be In a club with you In nineteen seventy three Singing, here we go again I would call you up everyday Saturday night And we'd both stay out until the morning light And we sang, here we go again And though time goes by I will always be In a club with you In nineteen seventy three Singing, here we go again And though time goes by I will always be In a club with you In nineteen seventy three
