\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remembering Back<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a fast car and I can go far.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll pick you up right where you are.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We can cross the bridge into the city.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Did I mention, you\u2019re looking pretty?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we get there we\u2019ll have some fun.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some call it mischief, but were still young.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll do a little cruising around.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

See what\u2019s happening all over town.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sports car, but there\u2019s room for 3.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because you\u2019re sitting right next to me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking good with my girl by my side.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I drive around glowing with pride.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon, we see some others we know.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We all decide to go to a show.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a horror flick, the scary kind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone knows my girl is mine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She is cuddled up real tight to me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She hides her head so she won\u2019t see<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

the real scary scenes of the movie.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I just think it is all so groovy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After the show we are driving around.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Somehow, we end up on the far side of town.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We know we are not welcome there.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We get out of there fast, wind in our hair.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon, we are safe and she snuggles close.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the moments I love the most.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is true, we are only young once, so<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I cherish every second, I\u2019m not one to boast.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet, I know I am the luckiest person around.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To have a girl like you, I have found.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You build me up & never let me down.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re around I don\u2019t feel like a clown.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are prettier than sunset over the sea.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You bring out the very best in me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m so pumped when I\u2019m around you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, I don\u2019t know what to do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I find a love song on the radio.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I tell you the words say it so<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

perfectly how I feel about you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You just smile & do what you do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the greatest times of my life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I\u2019m older I might have a wife.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I may have a love that will be superb.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, our first love, always, is a special word.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
