Sweet 17 in summertime
|
Drunk on elderberry wine
|
Laughing in the cornfields
|
And taking our sweet time
|
The world was ours together
|
And all the things we had
|
Were cast up in the future baby
|
How could things turn out bad?
|
Now I ain't waiting for
|
those days to return
|
You showed me what love was
|
I had such a lot to learn
|
Hey baby
|
I never knew a love so fine (When you were mine)
|
Sweet darling
|
When you were mine (When you were mine)
|
7 Days a week
|
365 a year
|
We tripped the wild fantastic edge
|
The truth was always clear
|
They could never tame our wild hearts
|
Or stop us making love
|
We were so inseparable
|
We could never get enough
|
And it seems like only yesterday
|
You made my world turn
|
And these days I think about ya
|
The fire still burns
|
Hey baby
|
I never knew a better time (When you were mine)
|
Sweet darling
|
When you were mine (When you were mine)
|
Alright
|
Everything we had was so complete
|
And all our young hearts wanted was to be swept off our feet
|
Yeah
|
When you were mine
|
In summertime
|
I know there's no sense in looking back
|
But everytime I think of it baby
|
I just have to laugh
|
Yeah well maybe just sometimes
|
On my own
|
Looking at my watch and thinking how time's flown
|
Come back baby
|
Like summer time
|
And we can break a bottle of that elderberry wine
|
Hey baby
|
I never knew a better time (When you were mine)
|
Sweet darling yeah
|
When you were mine (When you were mine)
|
Hey darling
|
Come back to me one more time (When you were mine)
|
Sweet darling
|
When you were mine (When you were mine)
|
Everything was good
|
Everything was fine
|
When you were mine (When you were mine)
|
When you were mine baby (When you were mine)
|
Come back just like summertime
|
In the summertime
|
