I met you in winter about ten years ago

Evenings were gray and the air smelled like snow

I walked through the door and in from the cold

Asked for your name and sat by your side

Didn't move from that place, almost all night

The moment we met you said it felt right

Well, I could live in the blue-green of your eyes

That I can't forget, not matter how hard I try

The moment we met you said you were mine for a while

Cassidy, where are you now?

Cassidy, do you remember how

You took my breath away from me? Stole the ground 'neath my feet? Fill my dreams when I sleep, Cassidy?

Days turned to weeks as time moved on past

I fell for you hard and you fell for me fast

Why are the best things the ones that don't seem to last?

You went back to him and moved miles away

Exchanged winter nights for sunny skied days

To follow your heart, as you liked to say

Cassidy, where are you now?

Cassidy, do you remember how

You took my breath away from me? Stole the ground 'neath my feet? Fill my dreams when I sleep, Cassidy?

Gone just about as fast as you came

And I'll write you songs, I'll never play

I'm left with your ghosts and the sound of your name

Cassidy, where are you now?

Cassidy, do you remember how

You took my breath away from me? Stole the ground 'neath my feet? Fill my dreams when I sleep, Cassidy?
