I can still rememberWhen I bought my first guitarRemember just how good the feelingTo put it proudly in my carAnd my family listened fifty timesTo my two song repertoireI told my momHer only son was gonna be a starBought all the Beatles recordsI sounded just like PaulI bought all the old Chuck Berry's - 78's and allI sat by my record playerPlaying every note they playedI watched them all on TVMaking every move they madeRock and roll, I gave you allThe best years of my lifeAll the dreamy sunny Sundays All the moonlit summer nightsI was so busy in the backroomWriting love songs to youWhile you were changing your directionAnd you never even knewThat I was always just one step behind youLetras de cancionesSixty-six seemed like the yearI was really going somewhereWe were living in San FranciscoWith flowers in our hairSinging songs of kindnessSo the world would understandTo the guys and me you were something moreThan just another band And then sixty-nine in LACame around so soonWe were really making headway And writing lots of tunesAnd we must have playedThe wildest stuff that we had ever playedAnd the way the crowds cried out for usWe thought we had it madeRock and roll, I gave you allThe best years of my lifeAll the crazy, lazy, young days All the magic moon at nightI was so busy on the roadSinging love songs to youWhile you were changing your directionAnd you never even knewThat I was always just one step behind youSeventy-one and so alone When I met SusanneI was trying to go it soloWith someone else's bandShe came up to me laterAnd I took her by the handAnd I told her all my troublesAnd she seemed to understandAnd she followed me to London Through a hundred hotel roomsThrough a hundred record companies Who didn't like my tunesShe followed me when finally I sold my old guitarShe tried to help meUnderstand I'd never be a starRock and roll, I gave youAll the best years of my lifeAll the dreamy, sunny SundaysAll the moonlit summer nightsAnd though I never knewThe magic of making it with youThat I thank the Lord for giving meThe little bit I knewAnd I was always just one step behind you From Letras Mania
