Young As We're Ever Gonna Be

(C. Raye/S. Wray)
 Everyone tells them that they're too young to know
 'bout the ways of the world and curves that fate can throw
 They'd never ask for much with their backs against the wall
 He turns to her, says, baby tonight let's take it all
 'Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be
 These may be the best days of our lives
 Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free
 Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be
 A man and a woman who've been left behind
 Knowing age is the enemy of hearts and minds
 The freedom of faith has made them reckless and sincere
 He says, darlin? we've got one last chance at some magic here
 'Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be
 These may be the best days of our lives
 Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free
 Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be
 Everywhere you look there's caution outside lookin? in
 Searchin? for that perfect circumstance
 But time never has stood still and it ain't about to start
 The sidelines are covered with wreckage of wasted hearts
 'Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be
 These may be the best days of our lives
 Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free
 Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be
 Oh
 'Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be
 These may be the best days of our lives
 Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free
 Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be
 Oh, tonight
