Seventeen

Seventeen, I was living life
Chasing dreams and my hopes were high
Trying to get around my fear of
When and where do I go from here
I asked somebody close to me
Who could see a lot further than a boy could see
Oh, oh, oh and he said
Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by
I still feel seventeen inside, not one day over
Dont let the trials of life, change who you are tonight
Stay seventeen each time you get one year older
I said youre at that time of life when your heart is strong
Your futures bright, you can do no wrong
And dont you let those feelings out of sight
Keep a hold of them as the years go rolling by
These words have always stuck with me
But now Im only getting what it all appears to mean
Oh, oh, oh and he said
Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by
I still feel seventeen inside, not one day over
Dont let the trials of life, change who you are tonight
Stay seventeen each time you get one year older
He said
My years have come and gone, in oh such little time
And I hope you live your life the way that I lived mine
Stay young at heart, stay young in mind
So I said
Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by
I'm still seventeen inside, not one day over
I wont let the trials of life, change who I am tonight
Stay seventeen each time you get one year older
One year older, one year older
Oh my oh my oh my oh my
So stay seventeen each time you get one year older
