Seventeen, I wa s living li fe
C hasing dreams and m y hopes were high....oh
T rying to get around my fear of
When and where do I go from h ere....oh
I asked somebody c lose to me
Who cou ld see a lot further th an a boy c ould see
Oh, oh, oh and he said. ..
Oh my, oh my, o h my these days are fly ing by
I still feel seventeen inside, not one d ay over
D on't let the trials of li fe, change who you are tonight
Stay seventeen each time you get o ne year older
I said you' re at that time of life when y our heart is strong
Your f uture's bright, you can do no wro ng
And don't y ou let those feelings out of sight
Keep a h old of them as the years go rol ling by
These words have alw ays stuck with me
But now I' m only getting wh at it all appea rs to mean
Oh, oh, oh and he said. ..
He said...my years have com e and gone,
in oh su ch little tim e
And I hope you live y our life the way that I lived mine
St ay young at heart, stay young in mind
So I said...
