lyrics

Party lights on a summer night, but they’re no longer for me
I’m far ago and long away from who I used to be
College days I’ve left behind, but not the memories
Carefree way that we lived, random as a breeze
*****
Night at the bars, crash on a couch, wake to a spring morning out the door
What’ll it bring, someone or something; that I’ve never met be - fore
Friends who turn up any hour with somewhere fun to go
Classes done, now evening sun and uptown’s lights a - glow
Places close but someone knows of folks who stay up late
Keep the laughter going, make tomorrow wait
*****
Back in our day, back when everything could go our way
We were young, we were free, we could be everyone we wanted to be
Every night would last forever, every morning new again
Put the speakers in the window and turn the stereo on
*****
Tryin’ still to hold those thrills, to live that revelry
But passin’ years take me downstream, ever more distantly
Drinkin’ late at clubs and shows, as if tomorrow’s free
Hangover in morning mirror seems like a mockery
Songs we sung when we were young, never fade and die
Ringing in their endless spring, while I see autumn skies
And winter coming…
*****
Back in our day, back when everything could go our way
We were young, we were free, we could be everyone we wanted to be
Every night would last forever, every morning new again
Put the speakers in the window and turn the stereo on
*****
And I don’t want to act my age
Why should I have to be this age
