In an old beat-up diner in a town late at night,
That you?re just passing through.
You?re tired and hungry, 
You?ve been driving far too long,
Yet you feel you?ve barely begun. 

As the waitress comes over to pour you your coffee, 
A smile comes across her face.
She asks what you?re having, but you have no answer.
Your heart just begins to race.

September of ?92,
I met a girl who made all my dreams come true.
In time when I needed a shoulder to cry on 
And nothing was working, she took all of my troubles 
And made them fly away.

You know those moments 
When time seems to stop? And start turning back?
Those special moments when everything you do 
Seems so right, like it?s all meant to be. 
So you jump without thinking of what you?re doing. 
You trust but you don?t know why. 
If you let someone into the world you?ve been hiding,
You feel you can touch the sky. 

September of ?92,
I met a girl who made all my dreams come true.
In a time when I needed a shoulder to cry on 
And nothing was working, she took all of my troubles 
And made them fly away.

It?s strange how just a simple smile
Can change the course of someone?s day. 
It doesn?t matter who it?s from or why. 
The outcome?s just the same.
That day I sat down at this booth, 
It was two years ago today a waitress filled with life 
And youth walked by, 
And she smiled, 
You smiled 
In a time when I needed a shoulder to cry on
When nothing was working, you took all my troubles 
And made them, 
You made them 
Fly away.
