Europe

It's not like I wouldn't dream, if you had not shown the way
It's not like I wouldn't fight, not knowing 'bout your life
It's not like I wouldn't stand, right here with my friends

But you threw us all a line, when our days slipped away
You gave us of your time

'Cause you were my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave me something to hold on to
When I was growing up you were the rock
In my life

It's not like I live my days by every word you spoke
Like I'm up every night drinking with your ghost
It's not like I can't look back without moving on

But you still throw me that line, as my days slipped away
You give me of your time

'Cause you were my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave us kids a chance to dream
Days when I had enough, you were the rock
In my life

(solo)
You still throw me that line, as my days slipped away
You give me of your time

You're still my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
You give me something to hold on to
As I'm still growing up you are the rock
In my life

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
