Long ago, those summer days
Memories that never fade
So real
Had my best time, feeling free
Seventeen with hopes so high
Living life, just you and I
With you
Life was all that it could be
I loved you so - and our great nights by the lake
I loved you so - and the plans that we would make
By the lake, feeling free
Just us and the open sky
Summer nights beneath the moon
Seventeen, it went too soon
So fast
Memories stay forever
Holding hands and making plans
Walking barefoot in the sands
With you
Dreaming beside the river
I loved you so - just you and me by the river
I loved you so - and the chills that made us shiver
By the river, feeling free
Life was simple and sweet
I loved you so - and our great nights by the lake
I loved you so - and the plans that we would make
By the lake, feeling free
I loved you so - and our great nights by the lake
I loved you so - and the plans that we would make
By the lake, feeling free
I loved you so - just you and me by the river
I loved you so - and the chills that made us shiver
By the river, feeling free
Life was simple and sweet
I loved you so - and our great nights by the lake
I loved you so - and the plans that we would make
By the lake, feeling free
