PODCAST
Summer Camp-Fresh
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.
Monkees-You Just May Be The One
All
men must have someone, have someone
Who
would never take advantage
Of
a love bright as the sun
Someone to understand them
And
you just may be the one
All
men must have someone, have someone
Who
would never take for granted
All
the pleasures and the fun
Someone to stand beside them
And
you just may be the one
I
saw when you walked by
The
lovelight in your eyes
I
knew I must try
To
win you more than as a friend
I'm
starting near the end
And
here I go again
All
men must have someone, have someone
Who
would never take advantage
Of
a love bright as the sun
Someone to stand beside them
And
you just may be the one
Someone to understand them
And
you just may be the one
