Suddenly something came over me and made me think of you
Maybe the rain on my window just sounded like then
Or the song on the radio I don't know
But I found myself back again
I was just seventeen
I was granted a wish and you were the dream

Those were the days when I couldn't stop falling
Hours and minutes and seconds of loving you
I'll never forget, it's true
How could I ever
Those were the nights when we made these memories
I've never been closer to heaven than when love was new
Oh baby
Those were the days and the nights of loving you

Love was so innocent and I could have sworn it would never end
Then reality crashed and it opened up my eyes
The first blow to the heart is the hardest to get over, don't you know
I cried till my tears went dry
Oh it took my forever but now I can smile

Those were the days when I couldn't stop falling
Hours and minutes and seconds of loving you
I'll never forget, it's true
How could I ever
Those were the nights when we made these memories
I've never been closer to heaven than when love was new
Oh baby
Those were the days and the nights of loving you

What are you doing these days are you thinking about me too
Are you passing those places
Reliving those moments when we were just 17

Those were the days when we couldn't stop falling in love
When we made those memories
Those were the days when I couldn't stop falling
Hours and minutes and seconds of loving you
I'll never forget, it's true
How could I ever
Those were the nights when we made these memories
I've never been closer to heaven than when love was new
Oh baby
Those were the days and the nights of loving you
Those were the days and the nights of loving you
