They stood upon the bridge and he held her hand tight
The sunset by the thames was such a beautiful sight
The rooftops over london seemed to glow in the light
And the night was calling

Seventeen and the world at their feet
They laughed along the river to piccadilly
She hoped that maybe someday he'd go down on one knee
And she squeezed him tightly

They talked about the future as he walked her back home
The night's young lovers don't notice the cold
He kissed her on the lips and turned back to the road
He felt warm inside

He cut across the park and someone asked for a light
He stepped into the shadows but met with a knife
They came to take his wallet but they left with his life
And they never thought twice

She stood upon the bridge and she crossed her arms tight
The sunset by the thames didn't look quite so bright
She got to be a widow before being a bride
And that can't be right
