colakillen

Utanför fönstret slår våren ut,
Marken blir grön igen
Allt som var dött väcks till liv
Det kan också vi, så länge vi andas

Ute till havs styr en fiskebåt
Längs en fri horisont
Den gungar så tryggt in mot hamn
Som jag i din famn så länge vi älskar

Det är för oss solen går opp
Och lyser som guld för kärlekens skull
Solen går opp så oskuldsfull
Och lyser på oss för kärlekens skull

Högt på ett berg står en katedral
Och pekar upp mot skyn
Men det är för himlen i dig
Och jorden i mig, vi älskar varandra

Det är för oss solen går opp
Och lyser som guld för kärlekens skullgot my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69
Solen går opp så oskuldsfull
Och lyser på oss för kärlekens skulle

Lyser som guld för kärlekens skull
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull
