Lyric
If I could invent a time machineThen baby we’d both be seventeen Cruising in my first car And acting like movie stars on Friday night Do you remember those Friday nights?And we were a rock, ready to rollAnd there was a fire down in our souls And all the whole world had to stand still Then turn around us ’cause that was the deal And, oh, how those nights went flowing like wine When I was all yours and you were all mine And we were in love Yeah, we were in loveI can still see you when I sleepThere is a picture I still keep You with your hair in the wind And me with that crazy grin Under a summer sky When dreams were too young to dieAnd we were a rock, ready to rollAnd there was a fire down in our souls And all the whole world had to stand still Then turn around us ’cause that was the deal And, oh, how those nights went flowing like wine When I was all yours and you were all mine And we were in loveOh, I know, I know it sounds crazyBut, baby, you’re still the one So let’s find a way to bring back the days When our hearts were forever youngAnd we were a rock, ready to rollAnd there was a fire down in our souls And all the whole world had to stand still Then turn around us ’cause that was the deal And, oh, how those nights went flowing like wine When I was all yours and you were all mine And we were in love Yeah, we were in love Oh, we were in love Girl, we were in love
