Back in '57 Songtext
von American Flyer

Sleep little girl
You′re a candle in a cold, cold world
And I'm the lucky one afraid as I am
I know I′m your only man
I feel like a child
I need your body close to mine
And friends for life ain't easy to find
But you, you are a friend of mine


I thought I was a man in high school
But you can only be a man
For a woman who gives you
Love treats you good
Gives you everything she could
And back in '57 I believed in heaven someday
And back in ′57 I believed in heaven someday

Sleep little one
You′re a rainbow in my morning sun
And as I wake up all my thoughts seemed so grey
But you, you are a rainbow today

I feel like a boy now in the same ways
I felt like a man in my high school days
I've been brought, I′ve been sold
But that's just rock and roll
And back in ′57 I believed in heaven someday
And back in '57 I believed in heaven someday.
