Friday night it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
How to tell you girl, I want to build my world around you
Wanna tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand I'm talking about a lifetime plan

Well that's the way it began, we were hand-in-hand
Glen Miller's band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And those Porter's tunes made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
On the way back home I promised you'd never be alone

Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park
And reminiscing

Friday night it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
Now as the years roll on, each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing, spending the hours reminiscing

Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park
And reminiscing

    I think this is a great love song about reminiscing about the early days of a now life long relationship :D.

    I love this song so much. It reminds me of me and my boyfriend and how we want to be together forever and when we get old "we'll go dancing in th dark, walking through the pare and reminiscing!" :) \\//PEACE

    I agree, this is a great love song. As a gift to everyone who attended our wedding reception, my wife and I gave everyone a CD with songs that had meaning to us. Reminiscing was on it. Quite a few of our friends told us afterwards that they had forgotten this gem from the Little River Band, but found they enjoyed it the most.

    When you're young you think that those special moments will always be present in a relationship. In reality things change, and you end up wishing for "the old days."

    Good write up on this song, It was reported to be Frank Sinatra's favorite song of the 70's.
