  • Whenever I look back
    On the best days of my life
    I think I saw them all on T.V.
    I am so homesick now for
    Someone that I never knew
    I am so homesick for
    Someplace I will never be

    Time won't let me go
    Time won't let me go
    If I could do it all again
    I'd go back and change everything
    But time won't let me go

    I never had a 'Summer of 69'
    Never had a Cherry Valance of my own
    All these precious moments
    You promised me would come in time
    So where was I when I missed mine?

    Time won't let me go
    Time won't let me go
    If you gave me back those years
    I'd do it all better I swear
    Time won't let me go

    Ba ba ba ba ba...
    Ba ba ba ba ba...
    Ba ba ba ba ba...
    Ba ba ba ba ba...

    If I could go back once again
    I would change everything, yeah
    If I could go back once again
    I'd do it all so much better

    Time won't let me go
    Time won't let me go
    If I could do it all again
    I'd go back and change everything
    But you won't ever let me go

    Ba ba ba ba ba...
    Ba ba ba ba ba...
    Ba ba ba ba ba...
    Ba ba ba ba ba... Writer/s: SAMUEL BINGHAM ENDICOTT

  • Ra from MiamiSong gives me that feeling of what Hollywood Tv/ Movie promised all but life really doesn’t deliver it in a perfect bow
  • Hans from Boston, MaKind of rips off "Accidents Never Happen" by Blondie...
  • Zulu from Victor, NyThis song is amazing. It reminds me so much of summer and how hopeless and boring they can be sometimes. But it also reminds me of how you wish you could go back and change things.
  • Ollie from Fredericton, NbI saw the bravery live and the lead singer said that his favourite book was the outsiders and that the book inspired him to write this song.
  • Alistair from Geelong, AustraliaI always thought the summer of 69' referred to Bryan Adams song?
    I think everyone can relate to this song in one way or another...
  • Austin from Boston, MaBrutally honest song about life and not getting what other's have. Song reminds me of me.
