I remember long ago a summer night in June
Cruisin' with the top down listening to our favorite tunes
Hair blowin' in the breeze, hands restin' on each other's knees
Doin' exactly as we pleased when we were ridin' high
Summer turned to autumn and you went back to school
I headed for L.A. where everything was hip and cool
I promised I'd keep in touch
Cards, letters, calls and such
But I didn't think about you much
I was ridin' way too high
I was ridin' high like the stars up in the sky
I didn't think those days would ever end
But those stars in my eyes turned to tears as time went by
Oh how I wish those days were back again
I stopped by one winter day when I was back in town
Talked to your mom and dad they said you weren't around
I didn't stay for very long had to hit the road and play my songs
How could I have been so wrong
Thinkin' I was ridin' high
The years have brought so many summers but they don't last as long
They flicker like a candle in the wind and then they're gone
Now I can't go on for one more mile
So I guess I'll just sit here awhile
With the memory of your pretty smile
When we were ridin' high
I was ridin' high like the stars up in the sky
I didn't think those days would ever end
But those stars in my eyes turned to tears as time went by
Oh how I wish those days were back again
