But I got just one question
Did we have to say goodbye

Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heaven´s door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I can´t
Turn back the future´s here
To stay but hey
We´re just children of tomorrow
Hangin´ on to yesterday

Jimmy still recalls the night
When he took his guitar
And headed on out
To find the big time
That was his dream
He gave up his past
And made it alright
But there´s something missin´
In his heart tonight
Sometimes what you want
Ain´t what you need

He misses drivin´ down
To the lake at night
Holdin´ his baby
In his arms so tight
Ain´t it hard to find illusions
When you´re livin´ in a memory

Just like prisoners in paradise
So close but yet so far
There will come a time
No matter who you are
When you ask yourself
Was it right or wrong
For me to turn away but hey
We´re just children of tomorrow
Hangin´ on to yesterday
