I finally asked you to dance on the last slow song
Beneath that moon that was really a disco ball
And I can still feel my head on your shoulder
Hoping that song would never be over

I haven't seen you in ages
Sometimes I find myself wondering where you are
For me you'll always be eighteen
And beautiful and dancing away with my heart

I brushed your curls back so I could see your eyes
And the way you moved me was like you were reading my mind
I can still feel you lean into kiss me
I can't help but wonder if you ever miss me

I haven't seen you in ages
Sometimes I find myself wondering where you are
For me you'll always be eighteen
And beautiful and dancing away with my heart

You headed out to college
At the end of that summer and we lost touch
I guess I didn't realize even
At that moment we lost so much

I haven't seen you in ages
Sometimes I find myself wondering where you are
For me you'll always be eighteen
And beautiful and dancing away with my heart

Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah

Away with my heart
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
