Lyrics

Years Ago
© Alan R. Hesse 2015

In the hot days of summer when we were just kids
We used to ride our bikes down to that big oak tree
In the park down the street from where we used to live
You were the one girl I knew that could keep up with me

And we'd climb to the top of that big oak tree
We watched the world go by and no one could see us
Way up in that tree it was like we could fly
And we swore forever that we'd be friends for life

Years ago, years ago I guess we didn't know all those years ago
Years ago, years ago we were falling in love all those years ago
Oh I guess I was too young to really know it
Having too much fun with my best friend growin'
And I guess I was fallin' back then all those years ago

And I can remember back in middle school
The day we pushed the English teacher into the pool
We were kicked out five days and I was grounded 3 weeks
I couldn't see you and it was killing me

Then came that summer day when you moved away
I'll miss you drops were runnin' down your face
As you waved to me standing there in the street
Watching my best friend move away from me




Years ago, years ago I guess we didn't know all those years ago
Years ago, years ago we were falling in love all those years ago
Oh I guess I was too young to really know it
Having too much fun with my best friend growin'
And I guess I was fallin' back then all those years ago

In all the days since then I thought of you and me
About the fun times we had in that big oak tree
Then one summer day you walked back into my life (and)
We knew it was love it was like we were flyin'

Years ago, years ago I guess we didn't know all those years ago
Years ago, years ago we were falling in love all those years ago
Oh I guess we were too young to really know it
Having too much fun with our best friend growin'
And I guess we were fallin' back then all those years ago
