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.
