Summer of '69 Straight from the heart It's only love Can't stop this things we started Do I have to say the words? This time Run to you Heaven Cuts like a knife (Everything I do) I do it for you Somebody Kids wanna rock Heat of the night Please forgive me --- SUMMER OF '69 I got my first real six string Bought it at the five and dime Played it til my fingers bled 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 But 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 - ya 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'n 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 STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART I could start dreamin' but it'd never end As long as you're gone we may as well pretend I've been dreamin' Straight from the heart You said it's easy but who's to say That we'd be able to keep it this way But it's easier Comin' straight from the heart Give it to me straight from the heart Tell me we can make another start You know I'll never go - as long as I know It's comin' straight from the heart I'll see you on the street some other time And all our words would just fall outta line While we're dreamin' Straight from the heart Give it to me straight from the heart Tell me we can make one more start You know I'll never go - as long as I know It's comin' straight from the heart IT'S ONLY LOVE When the feelin' is ended There ain't no use pretendin' Don't ya worry - It's only love When your world has been shattered Ain't nothin' else matters It ain't over - It's only love And that's all - yeah When your heart has been broken Hard words have been spoken It ain't easy - but it's only love And your life ain't worth livin' And you're ready to give in Just remember - that it's only love You can live without the aggravation Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win You keep lookin' back in desperation Over and over and over again When your world has been shattered Ain't nothin' else matters It ain't over - It's only love And if your life ain't worth livin' And you're ready to give in Just remember - that it's only love Ya - that's all Ya it ain't easy baby But it's only love - and that's all CAN'T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED You might stop a hurricane Might even stop the drivin' rain You might have a dozen other guys But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try I'm goin' one way - your way It's such a strong way - let's make it our way Can't stop this thing we started Ya gotta know it's right Can't stop this course we plotted This thing called love we got it No place for the broken hearted Can't stop this thing we started - no way I'm goin' your way!
