Bryan Adams - Summer of 69

Bryan Adams, Summer of '69

(paroles simplifiées)

I got my first real six-string
I bought it at the five-and-dime
I played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
We had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married

[...]

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
[...]
Those were the best days of my life

[...]
I spent my evenings at the drive-in
And that's when I met you

Standing on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Oh yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Ohhh

[...]
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
[...]

It was the summer, the summer, summer of '69
