|
Can you remember from way back when
|
|
It was the summer that we became best friends
|
|
And we made a promise that nothing could tear us apart
|
|
Now we used to hang out behind the old motel
|
|
We'd throw apples at cars and run like hell
|
|
We might've had a few close calls, but we never got caught
|
|
But when the sun went down we didn't go home yet
|
|
We would lay on the grass and smoke cigarettes
|
|
And stare up at the sky and count up all the stars, that's when
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
|
|
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
|
|
Though time slips by, the memories remain
|
|
I could never forget when the nights were young
|
|
Back then they said that we were way too young
|
|
But we were old enough to have some fun
|
|
And we'd laugh until it hurt and we were both in tears
|
|
Now we used to stake out the neighborhood liquor store
|
|
We couldn't go inside for a couple years more
|
|
So we'd send the older kids to sneak a couple of beers
|
|
We didn't have a care or a worry back then
|
|
We could count on each other through thick and thin
|
|
Nothing could come in between us we swore 'till the end, that's when
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Solo
|
|
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
|
|
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
|
|
The nights were young and we swore we'd always be together
|
|
But we went our separate ways so we'll just have to remember
|
|
Though time slips by the memories remain
|
|
I could never forget when the nights were young
|
