It was you and me
Sitting in an apple tree
At the summer's end
We were only seventeen
We held on so tight, that September night
Then you promised me

We're never getting older we're never gonna be that way
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
Let them say we're crazy, ‘cause we already won
When you promised me, we'd be forever young

I got your letter
I can't seem to put it down
It makes it better
To have a piece of you around
They're all just strangers
Their words don't mean a thing
I swear I'll die here
I swear that I'd do anything
To be back again, at the summer's end
When you promised me

We're never getting older, we're never gonna be that way
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
They still say we're crazy and I still say we won
When you promised me, we'd be forever young
Sooner or later-time gets the best of you
I should've known better-you gotta do what you gotta do
If I had me a river
I'd sit and watch it run by
I'd never let it run dry
I'm never gonna say goodbye
