summer of '69.
I got my first real six-string,
Bought it at the five-and-dime,
Played it till my fingers bled,
It was the summer of '69.
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard.
Jimmy quit
and Jodie got married,
I shoulda known
we'd never get far.
Oh, when I look back now,
The summer is a las forever
And if I had the choice,
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there,
Those were the best days of my life.
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do,
Spent my evening's down at the drive-in,
And that's where I met you.
Standin' at your mama's porch,
You told me that you'd wait forever,
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life.
Back in the summer of '69.
Man, we were killin'time,
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind.
I guess nothin' can last forever,
Forever, no.
And now the times are a-chanign',
Look at everything that's come and gone.
Every time I play that old six-string,
Think about you,wonder what went wrong.
Standin' by your mama's porch,
You told me it would last forever.
Oh, the way you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never.
Those were the best days of my life.
Back in the summer of '69.
BACK TO YOU
I've been down -
I've been beat
I've been so tired
that I could not speak
I've been so lost
that I could not see
I wanted things
that were out of reach
Then I found you and you helped me through
And you showed me what to do
That's why
I'm coming back to you...
CHORUS:
Like a star
that guides a ship
across the ocean
That's how your love
can take me home
back to you
And if I wish upon that star
Someday I'll be where you are
And I know that day
is coming soon
Yeah I'm coming back to you
You've been alone
but ya did not show it
You've been in pain
when I did not know it
You let me do
what I needed to -
you werether
when I needed you
Mighta let you down -
mighta messed you round
But you never changed your point of view
That's why I'm coming back to you...
CHORUS
CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
Drivin' home this evenin',
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out.
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Then I heard it on the street,
I heard you mighta found somebody new.
Well, who is he, baby,
Who is he, and tell me what he means to you.
I took it all for granted,
but how was I to know
That you would be lettin' go.
Now it cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right.
It cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right.
There's times I've been mistaken,
There's times I thought I'd been
misunderstood.
So wait a minute darlin',
Can't you see we did the best we could?
This wouldn't be the first time
things have gone astray,
Now you've thrown it all away.
I´M READY
I'd like to see you,
Thought I'd let you know.
I wanna be with you
every day
'Cause I've got a feelin'
That's beginnin' to grow
And there's only one thing
I can say.
I'm ready - to love you.
I'm ready - to hold you
I'm ready - to love you
I'm ready - to hold you
As ready as I'm gonna be.
You left me a long note
When you left me here.
Told me that love was
hard to find.
But baby, it's easy
and I'll make it clear
That there's only one thing
on my mind.
I'm ready - to love you.
I'm ready - to hold you
I'm ready - to love you
I'm ready - to hold you
I´m ready as I'm gonna be.
REPEAT
FITS YA GOOD
Waitin' here
for the workin' day to end,
Five o'clock
and those walls
Just move in closer
You get home so down and worn out,
It's understood,
Yeah, it fits ya good.
Fits ya good
Fits ya good
Fits ya good
Was a time
You were bringin' me down,
But I know -
it's just the way you look at life,
You don't know like I know, baby,
I did all that I could,
But it fits ya good.
Fits ya good
Fits ya good
Fits ya good
You don´t know, oh no
You don´t know I coul
But it fits ya good
Fits ya good
Fits ya good
Fits ya good
WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE
When you love someone
you'll do anything
You'll do all the crazy things
that you can't explain
You'll shoot the moon -
put out the sun
When you love someone.
You'll deny the truth -
believe a lie
There'll be times that you'll believe
you can really fly
But your lonely nights
have just begun
When you love someone.
When you love someone
you'll feel it deep inside
And nothing else
can ever change your mind
When you want someone -
when you need someone
When you love someone...
When you love someone -
you'll sacrifice
You'd give it everything you got
and you won't think twice
You'd risk it all -
no matter what may come
When you love someone
You'll shoot the moon -
put out the sun
When you love someone.
18 TIL I DIE
Wanna be young
the rest of my life,
Never say no,
try anything twice.
When the angels come
and ask me to fly,
Gonna be 18 til I die
- 18 til I die
Can't live forever,
that's wishful thinkin',
Whoever said that
must of been drinkin'.
Don't wanna grow up,
I don't see why,
I couldn't care less if time flies by.
18 til I die, gonna be
18 til I die.
Ya, it sure feels good
to be alive,
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55!
18 til I die
Anyway,
I just wanna say
Why bother with what happened yesterday,
It's not my style,
I live for the minute,
If ya wanna stay young, get both feet in it
18 til I die
A little bit of this,
a little bit of that,
Little bit of everything,
gotta get on track.
It's not how you look,
it's what ya feel inside,
I don't care when,
I don't need to know why.
18 til I die, gonna be
18 til I die.
Ya, it sure feels good
to be alive,
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55!
18 til I die
Ya, there's one thing for sure,
I'm sure gonna try
Don't worry 'bout the future -
forget about the past,
Gonna have a ball,ya,
we're gonna have a blast,
Gonna make it at last
- 18 til I die
