But we went our separate ways so we'll just have to remember
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
And we made a promise that nothing could tear us apart

But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
Back then they said that we were way too young
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
And we'd laugh until it hurt and we were both in tears
We didn't have a care or a worry back then
But when the sun went down we didn't go home yet
Though time slips by, the memories remain
But we were old enough to have some fun
I could never forget when the nights were young
And stare up at the sky and count up all the stars, that's when
Now we used to stake out the neighborhood liquor store

So we'd send the older kids to sneak a couple of beers

We could count on each other through thick and thin
We couldn't go inside for a couple years more

I could never forget when the nights were young
We'd throw apples at cars and run like hell
Nothing could come in between us we swore 'till the end, that's when
I could never forget when the nights were young
The nights were young and we swore we'd always be together
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
We might've had a few close calls, but we never got caught
Now we used to hang out behind the old motel

We would lay on the grass and smoke cigarettes

The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
Though time slips by, the memories remain

Though time slips by, the memories remain
