Lyrics :

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man, a face through a window
Crying in the night, the night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes, I see a memory
I never realized how happy you made me

Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy, well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

(1,2,3,4) Standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
Tears are in my eyes and nothing is rhyming

Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy, well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream, I face the morning
Crying on the breeze, the pain is calling

Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy, well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today

Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without taking
And I sent you away
Oh Mandy, well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you
Yeah
