Summer Of '89 Testo

Looking back
It was the time of our lives
It was a summer made of dreams
And it had just begun
Sunrise woke me with a beautiful song
A brand new day in a beautiful world
Ran through the backyard❝s cool morning shadows
My friends next door would meet me by the wall
Our lives as free as a fantasy
Wide awake in a dream

It was the summer of fun
And you know that❝s what we had
It was the summer to which
I will always look back
We were kids growing up
Walking a straight path
Having the times of our lives
In the summer of ❝89

The doors to my dad❝s store closed for good
Filled the fridge with candy
Who drank all the Yoo-hoo
Sang along to Pirate Radio
Pretended I was a DJ as I taped the songs
I still laugh thinking when my cousin said, ❝Women are all like snakes❝

We packed our bags and flew to Washington
My cousin❝s wedding, family reunion
Another plane, we❝re off to Montreal
Road trip with Zou Zou to Niagara Falls
Richard Marx woke us to, ❝Right Here Waiting For You❝

It was the summer of fun
And you know that❝s what we had
It was the summer to which
I will always look back
We were kids growing up
Walking a straight path
Having the times of our lives
In the summer of ❝89

I remember the late night barbeques
Spin the bottle in the family room
Picking peaches from our yard of fruits
You sang La Bamba and I yelled ❝Shut Up!❝
Tied a string to a beetle, watched it fly like a kite
I liked to tape record everyday life

It was the summer of fun
And you know that❝s what we had
It was the summer to which
I will always look back
We were kids growing up
Walking a straight path
Having the times of our lives
In the summer of ❝89
