Oh when I look back now - That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice - ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Standin' on your mama's proch - you told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand - I knew that it was now or never
Man we were killin' time - we were young and restless
We needed to unwind - I guess nothin' can last forever - no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch - you told me it would last forever
Oh and when you held my hand - I knew that it was ow or never - ya
Those were the best days of my life - oh ya - back in the summer of '69
Ya - me and my baby in '69
It was the summer of '69
