(Georgia Middleman/Sherri Austin) It was as if all the trees that late September Couldn't bear to let go of their leaves And I knew just how they felt Was having trouble letting go myself Cause love at seventeen It's like driving into the sun With no sungla**es on It was shining just for us And we knew that it would always be But when I think about it now Every sunrise must go down Back then I thought you were the only one It's funny what you can't see Driving into the sun It was the summer and time was in a hurry And we couldn't grow up fast enough And in the back seat of your car I gave you more than just my heart And we swore that it was love It's like driving into the sun With no sungla**es on It was shining just for us And we knew that it would always be But when I think about it now Every sunrise must go down Back then I thought you were the only one It's funny what you can't see Driving into the sun Oh you were such a beautiful mistake What I wouldn't give to love again Like I didn't know a heart could break It's like driving into the sun With no sungla**es on It was shining just for us And we knew that it would always be But when I think about it now Every sunrise must go down Back then I thought you were the only one It's funny what you can't see Driving into the sun Oh.. It's funny what you can't see Driving into the sun
