[Boy:]
As if it happened only yesterday
And there was not another car in sight
Looking any better than you did
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
[Girl:]
Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen
[Both:]
Baby got to go out and shout it
[Boy:]
'Cause we were barely seventeen
You got it drowing out the radio
For you to come along and have some fun
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise
Well I wanna make you motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
[Both:]
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light
And let Mother Nature do the rest
'Cause we were barely seventeen
We're gonna go all the way tonight
OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
There's the wind-up, and there it is
A line shot up the middle, look at him go
He's rounding first and really turning it on now
He's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second
The ball is bobbled out in the center
And here's the throw and what a throw
He's gonna slide in head first
No, wait, safe, safe at second base
This kid really makes things happen out there
It's in the dirt, safe a third
He's taking a pretty big lead out there
Almost daring them to pick him off
The pitcher glances over, winds-up and it's bunted
Bunted down the third base line
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close
Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate
Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it
[Girl:]
And will you make me your wife
And will you make me your wife
[Boy:]
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
[Girl:]
And will you make me your wife
[Boy:]
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
[Girl:]
[Boy:]
[Girl:]
[Boy:]
And when the feeling came upon me
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time
So now I'm praying for the end of time
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
[Boy:]
It was long ago and it was far away,
And it was so much better than it is today.
[Girl:]
