- This Side Of Paradise Lyrics / with translationsWell 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'll hold on to her memory
She said life would be simple, love would be so sweet
As I held out my hand to another lonely heartbeat
I know I must find this mysterious girl
My whole life in turmoil, my hearts in a whirl
So I'll hold on, hold on, hold on to her 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 it real?
Like a flash of lightning 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 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 same
So I'll hold on, hold on, hold on, to her memory
What you doing this side of paradise?...
In my mind I'm trying to see her perfect face
But the image has 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 that memory
What you doing this side of paradise?..
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'll hold on to her memory
She said life would be simple, love would be so sweet
As I held out my hand to another lonely heartbeat
I know I must find this mysterious girl
My whole life in turmoil, my hearts in a whirl
So I'll hold on, hold on, hold on to her 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 it real?
Like a flash of lightning she came down to me
All her face in its glory, a body so tight
I know I must find 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 same
So I'll hold on, hold on, hold on, to her memory
What you doing this side of paradise?...
In my mind I'm trying to see her perfect face
But the image has 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 that memory
What you doing this side of paradise?..
