Firehouse - The Nights Were YoungLyrics

Can you remember from way back when It was the summer that we became best friends And we made a promise that nothing could tear us apart Now we used to hang out behind the old motel We`d throw apples at cars and run like hell We might`ve had a few close calls, but we never got caught But when the sun went down we didn`t go home yet We would lay on the grass and smoke cigarettes And stare up at the sky and count up all the stars, that`s when [Chorus:] The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever But nothing ever does so we`ll just have to remember Though time slips by, the memories remain I could never forget when the nights were young Back then they said that we were way too young But we were old enough to have some fun And we`d laugh until it hurt and we were both in tears Now we used to stake out the neighborhood liquor store We couldn`t go inside for a couple years more So we`d send the older kids to sneak a couple of beers We didn`t have a care or a worry back then We could count on each other through thick and thin Nothing could come in between us we swore `till the end, that`s when [Chorus] (Solo) The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever But nothing ever does so we`ll just have to remember The nights were young and we swore we`d always be together But we went our separate ways so we`ll just have to remember Though time slips by the memories remain I could never forget when the nights were young
