Sweet 17 in summertime
Drunk on elderberry wine
Laughing in the cornfields
And taking our sweet time
The world was ours together
And all the things we had
Were cast up in the future baby
How could things turn out bad?
Now I ain't waiting for
those days to return
You showed me what love was
I had such a lot to learn
Hey baby
I never knew a love so fine (When you were mine)
Sweet darling
When you were mine (When you were mine)
7 Days a week
365 a year
We tripped the wild fantastic edge
The truth was always clear
They could never tame our wild hearts
Or stop us making love
We were so inseparable
We could never get enough
And it seems like only yesterday
You made my world turn
And these days I think about ya
The fire still burns
