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
