REMEMBER WHEN

Every once in a while,
I raise a glass to ghosts of years gone by,
Every once or twice,
I shed a tear for my yesterdays.
Playing in the road,
Chasing ice cream vans, trading football cards,
Such a care-free life,
No virtual friends, just those who cared.

We stayed out late, never felt the cold,
Those summer nights were endless, 
Talked face-to-face not through mobile phones,
A real-life social network.
Where did all those good times go?
Did we know what we had?
I miss you my friends,
Do you remember when?

From my old school hall,
I hear the songs we wrote in our first band,
We didn’t sound too great,
But we set out to rule the world.
In a backstreet bar,
I met the girl who later was my wife,
And though they’ve torn it down,
I can always see her there.

We stayed out late, never felt the cold,
Those summer nights were endless, 
Talked face-to-face not through mobile phones,
A real-life social network.
Where did all those good times go?
Did we know what we had?
I miss you my friends,
Do you remember when?

I never needed to say I’m sorry,
You held me up when I fell down.

We stayed out late, never felt the cold,
Those summer nights were endless, 
Talked face-to-face not through mobile phones,
A real-life social network.
Where did all those good times go?
Did we know what we had?
I miss you my friends,
Do you remember when?
