When I was young
|
I'd listen to the radio
|
Waitin' for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along
|
It made me smile.
|
|
Those were such happy times
|
And not so long ago
|
How I wondered where they'd gone
|
But they're back again
|
Just like a long lost friend
|
All the songs I loved so well.
|
|
Every Sha-la-la-la
|
Every Wo-o-wo-o
|
Still shines
|
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
|
That they're startin' to sing's
|
So fine.
|
|
When they get to the part
|
Where he's breakin' her heart
|
It can really make me cry
|
Just like before
|
It's yesterday once more.
|
|
Lookin' back on how it was
|
In years gone by
|
And the good times that I had
|
Makes today seem rather sad
|
So much has changed.
|
|
It was songs of love that
|
I would sing to then
|
And I'd memorize each word
|
Those old melodies
|
Still sound so good to me
|
As they melt the years away.
|
|
Every Sha-la-la-la
|
Every Wo-o-wo-o
|
Still shines
|
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
|
That they're startin' to sing's
|
So fine.
|
|
All my best memories
|
Come back clearly to me
|
Some can even make me cry.
|
Just like before
|
It's yesterday once more.
