I think this one goes a bit deeper than just old memories, more into what Sam Samson was saying. I think that the song is about the purity of childhood, and how much greater it is than the sinfulness of "growing up." In the first stanza, it seems that there was some sort of party with crazyass frat boys or something. The sunset was spent drunk and whatnot, prompting the "Be this sunset soon forgotten." The second stanza is obviously much more innocent, largely hinted by the chasing of June-bugs. In short, "Be this sunset one for keeping." Much more enjoyed in its simplicity and innocence.
