Paroles de 16 Summers

Mum Yeah? Are you jumping? Mummy I see a family in the Sun out in the garden having fun, but where am I? You asked if I'd be gone for long, I closed my eyes and bit my tongue, and told a lie I know what it means if all my dreams are keeping me away from you I just close my eyes and now my life's in double time Come hold these hands, you're slipping through Sixteen summers, is that all I'm gonna get? It's so easy to forget, we're all just passing through Sixteen summers to live and love without regret So, darling, give me one more chance, can I spend every summer I've got left with you? I see three children growing up I want the hourglass to stop or at least slow down If you have children of your own, darling, don't forget to show them How to treasure the here and the now I know what it means, the falling leaves, the cooling breeze, what can I do? I just close my eyes and now my life's in double time Come hold these hands, you're slipping through Sixteen summers, so many things I haven't said It's so easy to forget, we're all just passing through Sixteen summers, to live in love without regret So, darling, give me one more chance, can I spend every summer I've got left with you? Say you'll want my love when September comes You crawled, you walked, but now your time's to fly, oh Don't forget Julys though the years keep rolling by I'll cherish these nights you lie in my arms Sixteen summers, if that's all I'm gonna get Then I never will forget, we're all just passing through Sixteen summers to live and love without regret So, darling, give me one more chance, can I spend every summer I've got left with you?
