  • Do you remember the time I knew a girl from Mars?
    I don't know if you knew that
    Oh, we'd stay up late playing cards
    Henri Winterman cigars
    And she never told me her name
    I still love you, the girl from Mars

    Sitting in a dreamy daze by the water's edge
    On a cool summer night
    Fireflies and the stars in the sky
    Gentle glowing light
    From your cigarette
    The breeze blowing softly on my face
    Reminds me of something else
    Something that in my memory's been misplaced
    Suddenly all comes back
    And as I look to the stars

    I remember the time I knew a girl from Mars
    I don't know if you knew that
    Oh, we'd stay up late playing cards
    Henri Winterman cigars
    But she never told me her name
    I still love you, the girl from Mars

    Surging through the darkness over the moonlight strand
    Electricity in the air
    Twisting all through the night on the terrace
    Now that summer's here
    I know that you are almost in love with me
    I can see it in your eyes
    Strange light shimmering over the sea tonight
    And it almost blows my mind
    And as I look to the stars

    I remember the time I knew a girl from Mars
    I don't know if you knew that
    Oh, we'd stay up late playing cards
    Henri Winterman cigars
    But she never told me her name
    I still love you, the girl from Mars

    Today I sleep in the chair by the window
    It felt as if you'd returned
    I thought that you were standing over me
    When I woke there was no one there
    I still love you, girl from Mars

    Do you remember the time I knew a girl from Mars?
    I don't know if you knew that
    Oh, we'd stay up late playing cards
    Henri Winterman cigars
    But she never told me her name

    Do you remember the time I knew a girl from Mars?
    I don't know if you knew that
    Oh, we'd stay up late playing cards
    Henri Winterman cigars
    And I still dream of you
    I still love you, the girl from Mars Writer/s: Tim Wheeler
