Everyone tells them that they're too young to know

‘Bout the ways of the world and curves that fate can throw

They'd never ask for much with their backs against the wall

He turns to her, says, baby tonight let's take it all



‘Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be

These may be the best days of our lives

Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free

Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be



A man and a woman who've been left behind

Knowing age is the enemy of hearts and minds

The freedom of faith has made them reckless and sincere

He says, darlin' we've got one last chance at some magic here



‘Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be

These may be the best days of our lives

Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free

Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be



Everywhere you look there's caution outside lookin' in

Searchin' for that perfect circumstance

But time never has stood still and it ain't about to start

The sidelines are covered with wreckage of wasted hearts



‘Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be

These may be the best days of our lives

Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free

Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be

Oh

‘Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be

These may be the best days of our lives

Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free

Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be

Oh, tonight
