We spent our summer evenings
Giving our lives meaning
In parked cars, behind the bars, we'd lie
You told me your schoolgirl crushes
How you'd smile, I made you blush
And I just held your little hand in mine
You laid your head upon my chest
And the way you were looking in that dress
That night, there was only you and I
You looked up at me starry-eyed
I kissed your lips and held you tight
And those were the best days of our lives
We spent the summer dreaming
Giving these old songs new meanings
And making the most of the cards that we were dealt
We finally got it right this time
You showed your scars and I showed mine
We knew right then how true love finally felt
You laid your head upon my chest
I brushed your hair back as our lips pressed
That night there was no such thing as time
I looked into your painted eyes
You took my breath and I lost my pride
That night, there was only you and I
And those were the best days of our lives
We spent our summer evenings
Giving our lives meaning
In parked cars, behind the bars, we'd lie
We lied there until the morning sun
And we both smiled, our hearts were one
Right then we swore our love would never die
You lay your head upon my chest
And the way you were looking in that dress
Tonight, there is only you and I
You still look at me starry-eyed
And kiss my lips and hold on tight
Because these are the best days of our lives
And we are living the best days of our lives
Yes these, these are the days
