Simona

You're getting older

Your journey's been

Etched on your skin.



Simona

Wish I had known that

What seemed so strong

Has been and gone.



Chrous:

I would call you up every Saturday night

And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light

And we sang "Here we go again."

And though time goes by

I will always be in a club with you in 1973

Singing "Here we go again."



Simona

Wish I was sober

So I could see clearly now

The rain has gone.



Simona

I guess it's over

My memory plays our tune

The same old song.



I would call you up every Saturday night

And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light

And we sang "Here we go again."

And though time goes by

I will always be in a club with you in 1973

Singing "Here we go again."



I would call you up every Saturday night

And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light

And we sang "Here we go again."

And though time goes by

I will always be in a club with you in 1973

Singing "Here we go again."



I would call you up every Saturday night

And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light

And we sang "Here we go again."

And though time goes by

I will always be in a club with you in 1973

Singing "Here we go again."

And though time goes by

I will always be in a club with you in 1973

Recorded in the folk-pop genre, the track captures the emotional vulnerability that defined his early career, drawing upon themes of lost love and personal reflection prevalent in his discography. The song complements other notable works from this period, such as "You're Beautiful" and "Same Mistake," contributing to a cohesive narrative of heartache and resilience.
