LYRICS

[Verse]
Pete had those dark brown eyes,
Hiking boots and summer skies.
Fifteen… thought I knew it all
My heart was bound to fall.
Every trail led back to him,
Our futures really were quite dim.
[Bridge]
Now I see those mountain streams
Through the lens of grown-up dreams,
Thank you for that summer’s grace
Teaching me love’s first embrace.
[Chorus]
Forever was a promise made –
Under that mountain shade,
Time would never change our ways,
Oh, those golden summer days.
But forever fades like morning light
When love’s so young and burning bright.
[Verse]
Fifty years have come and gone,
Different trails I’ve walked upon.
Found myself along the way,
Smiling at memories today.
Young hearts beating wild and true,
Pete, and innocent young Sue.
[Chorus]
Forever was a promise made,
Was never kept.
Time would somehow change our ways,
And boy, how we wept.
But forever fades like morning light,
When young love was burning bright.
[Bridge]
Now I see those mountain streams
Through the lens of grown-up dreams,
Thank you for that summer’s grace
Teaching me love’s first embrace.
[Chorus]
Forever was a promise made –
Under that mountain shade.
Time cannot amend our ways,
Oh, those golden summer days.
But forever fades like morning light
When our young love was burning bright.
[Verse]
Yeah, Pete had those dark brown eyes,
Hiking boots and those summer skies.
We thought we knew it all
Our hearts were bound to fall.
[Bridge]
Fifteen seems so far away,
But I wouldn’t change a day.
Pete is married, so is Sue
Not to each other, that is true!
[Verse]
Thank you for that summer’s grace
Teaching me love’s first embrace!
Like a dove that sun was raised
Teaching me love’s first embrace.
[Chorus]
Forever was a promise made
Under that mountain shade.
Time cannot amend our ways,
Oh, those golden summer days.
But forever fades like morning light
When our young love was burning bright.
