Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before.
Now today I find you have changed your mind.
Treat me like you did the night before.
Were you telling lies, ah, the night before?
Was I so unwise, ah, the night before?
When I held you near you were so sincere.
Last night is a night I will remember you by.
When I think of things we did it makes me want to cry.
We said our goodbye, ah, the night before.
Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before.
Now today I find you have changed your mind.
Treat me like you did the night before.
When I held you near you were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before.
Last night is a night I will remember you by.
When I think of things we did it makes me want to cry.
Were you telling lies, ah, the night before?
Was I so unwise, ah, the night before?
When I held you near you were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before,
Like the night before.

I knew the guy who played one of the toy thieves. He told me that was when Keanu was brand new he was looking at the script just before he'd say the lines. Crazy he's been around so long & still a huge star.

A Mustang 5.0 Convertible. The first half is cringe, but the second half has its moments. A cheesey 80s flick. Worth watching, if just for the 80s vibe. I was there, it was fun times. Young Lori Loughlin and Keanu Reeves 😅. Trinidad Silva, Tom Tiny Lister😅. a few others...
