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

Hey baby

I never knew a better time (When you were mine)

Sweet darling

When you were mine (When you were mine)

Alright

Everything we had was so complete

And all our young hearts wanted was to be swept off our feet

Yeah

When you were mine

In summertime

I know there's no sense in looking back

But everytime I think of it baby

I just have to laugh

Yeah well maybe just sometimes

On my own

Looking at my watch and thinking how time's flown

Come back baby

Like summer time

And we can break a bottle of that elderberry wine

Hey baby

I never knew a better time (When you were mine)

Sweet darling yeah

When you were mine (When you were mine)

Hey darling

Come back to me one more time (When you were mine)

Sweet darling

When you were mine (When you were mine)

Everything was good

Everything was fine

When you were mine (When you were mine)

When you were mine baby (When you were mine)

Come back just like summertime

In the summertime
