Verse 1:
Remember all the nights we spent under the stars
Laughing 'til the sun came up, driving in our cars
The world was ours for the taking, oh how we'd unfold
Living in the moment, young and bold
Chorus:
Let the good times roll, let the music take control
Dancing through the memories, we'll never let it go
Feel the beat of our hearts, forever on a high
With the good times rollin', we'll reach the sky
Verse 2:
Days that turned to nights seemed like they'd never end
Chasing every dream, always with a friend
The melody of laughter, echoing so free
Those were the moments that made history

Close your eyes, remember all the joy and light
We'll keep these moments shining, burning bright

The song of youth will never fade away

Dancing through the memories, we'll never let it go
