I didn't have to give into sin
I needed something to believe in
So I wander the world on my own
With open arms
We sat by the river, turning water to wine
We will be loved and forgotten
In the city of Paris, made me feel so alive!
I long for the days of summer
Young and free we were in the mode
Turned every heartache into gold
Young and free we were seventeen
How beautiful those days had been
I held a fear of days to come
But nothing serves me like a song
You know I hungered for the city's melody
And powerless, it held me
Gave all of my courage, didn't want to let go
Never be lost or forgotten
In the city of life, forever I walk
And live for the days of summer
Young and free we were in the mode
Turned every heartache into gold
Young and free we were seventeen
How beautiful those days had been
