[Intro] Mmm, yeah Take me back to those days (Those golden days) [Verse 1] Seventeen and naive, walking down the street Your hand in mine, heartbeat racing to the beat Summer nights under stars, we thought we'd never fall Making promises that we'd remember through it all Chemistry class, passing notes behind the book Every stolen glance, every secret look You wore that yellow dress on graduation day I knew right then my heart would never be the same [Chorus] We were young and wild and free Dancing through our destiny Every kiss felt like forever Thought our love would last together Now I'm looking back with tears and laughter Those summer dreams we were chasing after Young love burning bright In the fading twilight [Verse 2] Late night conversations on the telephone Dreaming 'bout our future, never felt alone Your favorite song playing on the radio Made me fall deeper than I'd ever known Prom night dancing, spinning round and round Feet barely touching, floating off the ground College applications came too soon Separated by the distance, but still in tune [Chorus] We were young and wild and free Dancing through our destiny Every kiss felt like forever Thought our love would last together Now I'm looking back with tears and laughter Those summer dreams we were chasing after Young love burning bright In the fading twilight [Bridge] Time moves on, seasons change But in my heart you still remain That sweet sixteen melody Playing our love's symphony Though we went our separate ways I still think of those golden days [Outro] Mmm, those summer dreams (Never fade away) Young love, sweet dreams (In my heart they'll stay)
