Lyrics This Side of Paradise - Smokie

Well my beating heart exploded with a mighty crash
And my legs were shaking, things were moving way too fast
In the daylight hour I don′t remember her name
I know deep inside my life won't be the same
So I hold on to her memory
She said life would be simple, love would be so sweet
The feeling was greater than ever before
As I held out my hand to another lonely heartbeat
By touching midnight she ran to the door
I know I must find the mysterious girl
My whole life′s in turmoil, my heart's in a whirl
So I hold on, hold on, to my memory
What you doing this side of paradise
Trying to make me pay the price
But you don't know the way I feel
Is this a dream or is this real
Like a flash of lighting she came down to me
In a blinding moment I found I could see
All her face in its glory, a body so tight
I know I must find her I′ll look into the night
In a world of adventure the name of the game
It′s the one that we live in no person's the game
So I hold on, hold on, to my memory
What you doing this side of paradise
Trying to make me pay the price
But you don′t know the way I feel
Is this a dream or is this real
In my mind I'm trying to see her perfect face
But the image is gone just a time another place
In a blinding moment I found I could see
Her face in its glory it shone down on me
Still I hold on, hold on, to my memory
What you doing this side of paradise
Trying to make me pay the price
But you don′t know the way I feel
Is this a dream or is this real
