This is one of those tunes that was written with an evil grin... Don't we all have that "one that got away" and you just gotta smirk when you think of the crazy shit you used to do or say to each other... and you sometimes wonder where you would be or WHO you would be if you would have ended up together as adults?
Lyrics
You were with me
Together we’d run all night long
Brave and Free
The radio would play our song
Bare feet
Hearts pounding wild with every beat
Back seat
Dad’s Chevy with the windows steamed
The best nights of my life I’ve spent with you
And I’m hoping that you think about me too
Sweet sweat
In innocence we’d play along
Lover’s pledge
To one another we belonged
Class clown
Had the answers down for everything
I’m too proud
I was tough as nails and right as rain
The best nights of my life I’ve spent with you
I’d go back today to see your face and dream away
Paint me a picture of dreams gone by
Fools pride
You knew how to put me in my place
Well I lied, you cried, we tried, but it died
I couldn’t keep those tears from off your face
The best nights of my life I’ve spent with you
I’d go back today to touch your face and dream away
Paint me a picture of dreams gone by
I’d give anything for those days gone by
Yesterday
The summer dreams came back to me
Separately
You and I would live our histories!
The best nights of my life I’ve spent with you
And I’d die a million times to share your space and dream with you
Won’t you paint me a picture of dreams gone by?
I’d give anything for those days gone by, those days gone by
Whoah, Oooh, dreams gone by
Paint me a picture!
Dreams gone by
