I fell in love with a young soul The innocence it drove me wild She's got the body of a grown girl But the wondrous eyes of a child The shine is fading away But you really don't, really don't, really don't mind Gone by the end of the day Singin' if it's not now How can it last forever? Could've been a love song Could've been a big one Could've been you & I up all night keepin' the light goin' Couldn't keep the light goin' Let's keep the light burnin' We walk on down that long & winding road Each step you take drivin' me wild We dress my truth up in your trendy clothes But now all they see is how it's styled The shine is fading way But you really don't, really don't, really don't mind Gone by the end of the day Singin' if it's not now How can it last forever? Could've been a love song Could've been a big one Could've been you & I up all night keepin' the light goin' They couldn't keep the light goin' Let's keep the light burnin' on Let's keep the light goin' on Let's keep the light burning on Let's keep the light burning on Yeah-yeah-eahh I sing you a love song A big one That coulda-woo-coulda-woo but I Couldn't keep the light going Could've been a love song Could've been a big one Coulda woulda shoulda but I Let's keep the light burning on The shine is fading away But you really don't, really don't, really don't mind And I can still hear you say If only centuries were miles away If only centuries were miles away Could've been a love song Could've been a big one Could've been you & I up all night keepin' the light goin' They couldn't keep the light goin Let's keep the light burnin' on
