There was that girl I used to know
She'd tease me about my name
Fan the embers long enough
ch /ch
I sometimes catch her flame
The soothing voice of distance tells me
"That was just a fling"
Other music fills my ears
ch /ch
But I still hear her sing, she sings
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Don't you remember me?
How long ago one gorgeous night
ch /ch
We let the stars go
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Don't you remember me?
How long ago one gorgeous night

There was a boy I used to be
I guess that he was cold
If she came to buy him now
ch /ch
How cheaply he'd be sold
But the light is gone and it is dark
What used to be the sky
Is suddenly embarrassing
ch /ch
To the naked eye, you see ...
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Can't face this memory
How long ago one gorgeous night
ch /ch
We let the stars go
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Can't face this memory
How long ago one gorgeous night
ch /ch
We let the stars go
Long ago one gorgeous night
ch /ch
We let the stars go
Long ago one stupid night
We let the stars go free
We let the stars go free
