I had your picture in a heart shaped locket
Next to a cross on a chain
I had a ring it wore a hole in my pocket
Somehow I lost that thing
The circus left town, september came
They say after your first you'll never be the same

We had it all, all for a little while
We sent that sunset summer out in style
We were blue jean kids in love young and wild
We had it all, all for a little while

We were pedal to the metal on the highway
We had nothing but time
Watching you walk to me down your driveway
I never felt so alive
We'd drive to the river, park in the dark
Forever was a word we knew by heart

Repeat chorus

The love and memories that we made
Those were the days

I had your picture in a heart shaped locket
Next to a cross on a chain
Chorus
