Forever 17 Lyrics

I remember being seventeen years old
Barreling down Blue Diamond Road
If we get there before my parents get home
I could sneak you in

We made it just in time
Snuck in my room
Turned out the lights
We sat in silence for what seemed all night
Till the coast was clear

Forever Seventeen
Remember remember
When a kiss meant everything
Remember remember
Forever Seventeen
What times those were
Forever Seventeen

She was nervous for what it was worth
I said she was the closest thing to heaven on earth
With that she stood up, took off her shirt
Gave me her heart

I remember sitting on the edge of my bed
It felt like I was watching an angel undress
Two young lovers in over their heads
Under the sheets

Forever Seventeen
Remember remember
When a kiss meant everything
Remember remember
Forever Seventeen
What times those were
Forever Seventeen

The night behind us
The sun on her heads
I drove her home in my Dad's Oldsmobile
One hand in hers the other on the wheel
The pedal on the floor

That morning a promise was made
We'll tie the knot as soon as we come of age
We'll rent a chapel, vows will be exchanged
I'll make you my wife

Forever Seventeen
Remember remember
When a kiss meant everything
Remember remember
Forever Seventeen
What times those were
Forever Seventeen

Franky Perez is a Cuban-American rock 'n' roller with a knack for honest and impassioned songwriting, a timeless sound and the kind of live show that buckles your knees. The Las Vegas native carries himself with the quiet pride of a self-made blue-collar worker, but under the bravado is a poignant and heartfelt storyteller. On his second release, My 4th of July, Perez combines good old-fashioned rock n roll with a little Latin soul. Reflecting on his own life, he creates anthems connecting with his audience through universal emotions and the struggles of the everyman in the characters of his songs; Perez is an American classic.
