Credits for the songwriters.
An endless summer
Describing a period of time with no end, possibly carefree and joyful.
Two hearts on fire
Intense romantic feelings between two individuals.
Long days down by the beach
Recalling leisurely days spent at the beach.
I'm going through
Reflecting on past experiences.
Old photographs
Reviewing old photographs.
It brings back memories
Evoking memories through pictures.
It's still there deep inside my mind
Memories persisting in the mind.
All the pictures from back in time
Images from the past still vivid.
I'll never forget your sweet fiery eyes
Expressing deep recollection of a person's eyes.
Those were the days that dreams are made of
Highlighting an idealized past, full of dreams.
Those were the times of hope and faith
Characterizing the past as a time of optimism and belief.
Nothing could ever come between us
Emphasizing the strength of the connection in the past.
Those were the days
Repeating the sentiment that those were special times.
Took your daddy's car
Narrating a romantic escapade with a reference to authority figures.
Up to the cliff
Choosing a specific location for an intimate moment.
Made love under the stars
Recalling a romantic encounter under the stars.
We talked all night
Extended conversations during a memorable night.
We made a pact
Making a commitment to stay together.
We would never be apart
Expressing a desire for perpetual closeness.
We grew up and things change so fast
Recognizing the inevitable changes that come with growing up.
Years went by and summers passed
Time passing swiftly, marked by changing seasons.
But I'll never forget your sweet fiery eyes
Reiterating the impact of the person's eyes on memory.
Those were the days that dreams are made of
Repeating the theme of idealized days filled with dreams.
Those were the times of hope and faith
Recalling a period marked by optimism and faith.
Nothing could ever come between us
Stressing the unbreakable bond during that time.
Those were the days
Reiterating the sentiment that those times were special.
We spent our time with love and laughter
Summarizing the past as filled with love and joy.
Every night at our favorite place
Highlighting a favorite location for shared moments.
Those were the days when nothing mattered baby
Affirming the insignificance of external matters during that period.
Those were the days
Repeating the assertion that those were extraordinary times.
Those were the days
Concluding with a final reflection on the exceptional nature of the past.
