Summer Camp-Fresh ...our Valentines Day love song..

I swear when I was young, the summers

Were full and fresh and long.

Watching the movies with Andy in Pink

Dreaming of dances bad memories don’t blink

I always said that you were a different class,

blue eyes and a messed up past

For every single promise

I reneged every stupid word

I wish I hadn’t said.

 

First love is the best love,

First Love is the dream.

First love is a fairytale,

Held tight between you & me

Do you remember the first time?

(Do you?) remember the first time?

(Do you? do you?)

 

Cherish the past, you

Told me to keep what we had

safe.

Make it last, even though I knew

You’d be a million miles away

And as life happened to me

I know it happened to you

I don’t have your number now

But I still see you in everything I do.

 

First love is the best love,

First Love is the dream.

First love is a fairytale,

Held tight between you & me

Do you remember the first time?

(Do you?) remember the first time?

(Do you? do you?)

Do you remember the first time?

(Do you?) remember the first time?

(Do you? do you?)

 

It was the first time that

I failed

First time I lost my head

No heartbreak has ever been as good.

I’d rather be hurt by you instead.

and at the end of it all

my heart was black and blue

But sometimes late at night I still

Ask myself if you

Remember the first time?

Do you remember the first time?

(Do you?) remember the first time?

(Do you? do you?)

Do you remember the first time?

(Do you?) remember the first time?

(Do you? do you?)

 

I WILL TRY TO FORGET

ABOUT YOU.

I WILL TRY TO FORGET

ABOUT YOU.

I WILL TRY TO FORGET

ABOUT YOU.

I WILL TRY TO FORGET

ABOUT YOU.
