There was a time There was a place There was your name It was your face I was sixteen Thought I knew the plan You were my girl and I was your man Late nights on the phone Late nights in the car Late nights chasing you Where ever you were Maybe those were the days I know those were my nights I left them so far So dim to those lights That even when I dream at night I cannot see your face Well, I close my eyes and softly say Those were my younger days Instrumental Break Friday nights at the park Pep rallies at school You cheering for me Me playin' for you Sometimes I look back but I really can't see That girl that I loved My young sweet Marie Chorus Chorus
