Living our Youth

Coolparadiso

Words and music by John Nicholson - Vocal by Marthie Nel Hauptfleisch

We were living our youth
From sun up to sun down
Holidays lasting forever
In our little town

We swam all day long
And under the bridge at night
Laughing and joking
Everything seemed oh so right

Ill never forget it
It was the summer of 73
We were Listening to every hit
It was The year i felt free

All our lives before us
So much for us to see
It was The year i felt free

It was the time with friends
We Didn’t want to miss
Fish n chips, new adventures
And of course my first kiss

Riding horses when i could
All through the bush and back
Playing with all the dogs
Nothing did we lack

But Ill still never forget it
It was the summer of 73
We were Listening to every hit
It was The year i felt free
All our lives before us
So much for us to see
It was The year i felt free

Instrumental

B We hoped it would last forever
But by now i was a cynic
Reality was a broken home
And the wrong type of spirit

But Ill still never forget it
It was the summer of 73
We were Listening to every hit
It was The year i felt free

All our lives before us
So much for us to see
It was The year i felt free
