I am posting this song again because it is played to scenes from the movie the Notebook. I love this movie as well as this song. FInding this today made me cry because I miss my husband so much. Bryan I dedicate this to you. I love you.
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it ’til 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, Jody got married
I should’ve known we’d never get far
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I’d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain’t no use in complainin’
When you’ve got a job to do
Spent my evening’s down at the drive-in
And that’s when I met you, yeah
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
Oh, yeah.
Back in the summer of ’69, oh.
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 you, wonder what went wrong
Standin’ on your mama’s porch
You told me that it’d last forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah.
Back in the summer of ’69, oh.
It was the summer of ’69, oh, yeah.
Me and my baby in ’69, oh.
It was the summer, the summer, the summer of ’69, yeah.
Look into my eyes, you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you’ll search no more
Don’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for
You can’t tell me it’s not worth dyin’ for
You know it’s true Everything I Do, I do it for you
Look into your heart, you will find
There’s nothin’ there to hide
Take me as I am take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice
Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for
I can’t help it, there’s nothin’ I want more
You know it’s true Everything I Do, I do it for you
There’s no love, like your love
And no other could give more love
There’s nowhere, unless you’re there
All the time, all the way
Look into your heart baby
Oh, you can’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for
I can’t help it – there’s nothin’ I want more
Yeah I would fight for you, I’d lie for you
Walk the wire for you, yeah I’d die for you
