Soft and low, the radio
That plays a song from long ago
Takes us back to tender years
Oh, I can see you're holding back your tears
With summer's fading amber light
You're the dream I'll dream tonight

With kisses in the dark
So young and innocent
Like faded photographs
We thought our love would last
If you could only see
This lonely boy in me
And save my heart
Tonight with a kiss in the dark

The southern skies, the summer nights
Yeah, paradise was glowing in your eyes
Oh, we swore we'd run away together
But in our hearts, girl, both of us knew better
Livin' in my memory
You're forever seventeen

With kisses in the dark
So young and innocent
