lyrics

London 1969 – Emily Triggs / Caroline Conolly

You’ll never forget this
landing on the moon
The way the earth fell away
while we stood in the room
Our eyes as big as stars
as you took steps of faith
We all left the pool to watch
the interstellar race

As I watched you
leaping for mankind
he said you’ll never forget this
you’ll never forget this
And I love you
leaping for mankind
I know I’ll never forget this
London 1969

You floated for days and days
you floated to the stars
Our eyes were yours we shared your gaze
Jupiter and Mars

Do you think you’ll miss her?
Could she change your mind?
If you had the chance to stay
would you leave us all behind?
Would you kick the boosters off
and drain the rocket fuel
Flip the bird to planet earth
while we stare up at you?

As I watched you
leaping for mankind
he said you’ll never forget this
you’ll never forget this
And I loved you
leaping for mankind
I know I’ll never forget this
London 1969
