Lyric

Let’s sing along with the lyrics!

If I could invent a time machineThen baby we’d both be seventeenCruising in my first carAnd acting like movie stars on Friday nightDo you remember those Friday nights?
And we were a rock, ready to rollAnd there was a fire down in our soulsAnd all the whole world had to stand stillThen turn around us ’cause that was the dealAnd, oh, how those nights went flowing like wineWhen I was all yours and you were all mineAnd we were in loveYeah, we were in love
I can still see you when I sleepThere is a picture I still keepYou with your hair in the windAnd me with that crazy grinUnder a summer skyWhen dreams were too young to die
And we were a rock, ready to rollAnd there was a fire down in our soulsAnd all the whole world had to stand stillThen turn around us ’cause that was the dealAnd, oh, how those nights went flowing like wineWhen I was all yours and you were all mineAnd we were in love
Oh, I know, I know it sounds crazyBut, baby, you’re still the oneSo let’s find a way to bring back the daysWhen our hearts were forever young
And we were a rock, ready to rollAnd there was a fire down in our soulsAnd all the whole world had to stand stillThen turn around us ’cause that was the dealAnd, oh, how those nights went flowing like wineWhen I was all yours and you were all mineAnd we were in loveYeah, we were in loveOh, we were in loveGirl, we were in love
