Oh, the summer sun was shining bright, we were wild and free You and I, forever young, just you and me, it had to be

Fell in love, a twist of fate, like a stone thrown in the sea You were such a dreamer, and I was just eighteen We whispered in the dark, but were way too loud Holding hands til midnight, feeling on top of the clouds

But oh, we raced against the tide, never knowing what we’d find With every heartbeat, we’d drown the doubt that echoed in our minds

Our love was like a rock, so strong and true Falling so hard so easy to do, when you didn't even know me way back then Wanting it all, and feeling love's pain Making love when we weren't ready to do it, oh so bold Boy, did we love so hard way back when, so naive, but we were real But man did we know how it hurt inside, until our love died

Seasons changed, our hearts still beat, but life was never kind You were dreaming of a future, and I got left behind Looking back, those moments passed, but they linger in my mind We danced beneath the streetlights, music made us whole

So let’s dive beneath the waves, where memories play With every spark, we’ll build a fire that never fades away

Our love was like a rock, so strong and true Falling so hard so easy to do, when you didn't even know me way back then Wanting it all, and feeling love's pain Making love when we weren't ready to do it, oh so bold Boy, did we love so hard way back when, so naive, but we were real But man did we know how it hurt inside, until our love died

We were young and reckless, hearts set ablaze like hot summer skies When the clock keeps ticking; even stars must say goodbye Yet through it all, we kept the flame, holding tight to our dreams so insane In this wild ride called life, nothing's ever what it seems It comes, it goes, it dies in the night

Our love was like a rock, so strong and true Falling so hard so easy to do, when you didn't even know me way back then Wanting it all, and feeling love's pain Making love when we weren't ready to do it, oh so bold Boy, did we love so hard way back when, so naive, but we were real But man did we know how it hurt inside, until our love died

Love is like a rock, we’ll carry it for life Through every heartache, every dawn, every lover, every wife Falling joyfully, wild as the wind, if it could just be Boy, did we love hard way back then when our story first began

You walked into my class on Monday morning Blue eyes flashing, my heart had no warning She sat beside me, and gave me your smile My teenage hormones went crazy wild Couldn't hear the teacher, couldn't read a line All I could think was, 'Girl, I'm gonna make you mine She passed me a note, said, 'Meet me at three I wrote back to her, 'Forever I'm yours, if you'll have me

We were young, and crazy wild, we were burning so hot inside Two hearts racing on a roller-coaster ride They called it puppy love, said it wouldn't last But we were building a forever, and building it to last

Take me back to my teens When love was wild and the nights were obscene Raging hormones, and hearts on fire Young love burning with raging desires Take me back to our teens When you were my girl, I was your king Against the world, whatever the cost We'd never give up, never get lost Oh-baby-baby, I'm so crazy for you You and me, baby, Yes I do

Behind the gym where the old oak grew You whispered to me softly, 'I'm in love with you My hands began shaking, my face turned red A thousand crazy thoughts ran through my head We kissed beneath that summer moon Dancing to a song from the late afternoon Your perfume lingered after I kissed you I remember every word you said to me "My mother loves you, and I do too

Your mama said I love him, your daddy said to wait But our hearts were running faster than a horse out of the gate We had no money, no house, no jobs Just a girl who loved a boy, and a loving young man

Take me back to my teens When love was wild and the nights were obscene Raging hormones, and hearts on fire Young love burning with raging desires Take me back to our teens When you were my girl, I was your king Against the world, whatever the cost We'd never give up, never get lost Oh-baby-baby, I'm so crazy for you You and me, baby, Yes I do

They said we'd change, they said we'd grow They said there's so much we didn't know But when the years came rolling through Every road still led me back to you Through every storm, through joy and tears We kept that promise across the years That first young kiss beneath the tree Became the love that set us free

Take me back to my teens When we were young and chasing dreams Our hearts were racing, our love was real Nobody knew how we made each other feel Take me back to my teens To the sweetest love I'd ever seen They said forever was just a dream But forever became our everything

Oh-baby-baby, I'm hot for you Still got that fire, still got that dream From that classroom to eternity It's always been you and me Take me back. Back to my teens

[Intro] You walked into class on a Monday morning, Blue eyes flashing, my heart without warning! She sat beside me, and gave me your smile, My teenage hormones went crazy wild! Couldn't hear the teacher, couldn't read a line, All I could think was, 'Girl, I'm gonna make you mine!' She passed me a note, said, 'Meet me at three,' I wrote back to her, 'Forever I'm yours, if you'll have me!'

[Pre-Chorus] We were young, and crazy wild, we were burning so hot inside, Two hearts racing on a roller-coaster ride! They called it puppy love, said it wouldn't last, But we were building a forever, and building it to last!

[Chorus] Take me back to my teens, When love was wild and the nights were obscene! Raging hormones, and hearts on fire, Young love burning with raging desires! Take me back to our teens!

[Verse 2] Behind the gym where the old oak grew, You whispered to me softly, 'I'm in love with you!' My hands began shaking, my face turned red, A thousand crazy thoughts ran through my head!

[Bridge] They said we'd change, they said we'd grow, They said there's so much we didn't know. But when the years came rolling through, Every road still led me back to you. Through every storm, through joy and tears, We kept that promise across the years. That first young kiss beneath the tree, Became the love that set us free!

[Instrumental Break] Take me back to my teens, When we were young and chasing dreams! Our hearts were racing, our love was real, Nobody knew how we made each other feel!

[Outro] Oh-baby-baby, I'm hot for you. Still got that fire, still got that dream! From that classroom to eternity, It's always been you and me! Take me back... Back to my teens

We fell in love in our senior year Under Friday night lights, with nothing to fear I held your hand by the old oak tree Said forever was just you and me But graduation came, our dreams took flight We kissed goodbye late one August night Two young hearts went our separate ways Never forgetting our romantic high-school days

Oh, take me back to being seventeen To the sweetest love of my life When every kiss or yours could stop me cold And your heart beat next to mine, so much so, made me go out of control Now here we are beneath the stars again, 30 years later with my friend With all those years and divorced scars diggin' in Yet, loving you feels like a dream come true We're kissing like we're still seventeen And I still love you

We both found love, and watched it fade Two broken hearts and vows unmade Divorces came, and tears were shed We learned how lonely life was without each instead Then somehow we wandered back home Back to the streets we'd always known I saw you at a grocery store Felt love rush in, from all the years gone by

Oh, take me back to being seventeen To the sweetest love of my life When every kiss or yours could stopped me cold And your heart beat next to mine, so much so, made me go out of control Now here we are beneath the stars again, 30 years later with my friend With all those years and divorced scars diggin' in Yet, loving you feels like a dream come true We're kissing like we're still seventeen And I still love you

We can't get back the years gone by Or all the tears we both had to cry But darling, when you look at me with your big blue eyes I'm still the boy of seventeen And every road that led us here Was worth the pain, the wait, for you my dear

Now there's a porch swing painted white And fireflies dancing in the soft moonlight Your fingers gently holding mine Our two silver heads in summertime You lean in close, and I close my eyes That same old spark, that sweet surprise The world grows quiet, moonlight gleams We're both kissing like we're seventeen

Oh, take me back to being seventeen You're still my girl in all my dreams Though time has changed the way we look Our love's still writing our love story book Here on this porch swing beneath the stars Your hand in mine, our hearts unwind And every kiss still feels like summer wine We're loving like we're seventeen

Just you and me sweetie, and this summer breeze Rocking slow beneath the old oak trees One more kiss, from my everything I love kissing like we're seventeen And I'll never let you go from my life again You're always been my lover and very best friend

She stepped out of her brand-new convertible ride With a beach bag swinging and a smile a mile wide Big dark shades and a tropical hat Had every guy on the beach forgetting how to think She dropped her towel and kicked off her shoes Dancing to the rhythm of the summertime blues Then she turned around and gave a little wink And all the boys forgot how to think
