about

Just a song about childhood reminiscence. I'll let this one speak for itself. Just remember, before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been.

Special thanks to Alitreot for the artwork. Be sure to follow him.

lyrics

Pull the covers right off and jump right on my feet
I’ll watch something colorful and have a little treat
Something good and sweet because I’ll need the energy
I don’t know what this day has planned for me, but hey, I’ll see

See you later, mom and dad, I’ll be out and about
I don’t know where we’re going, but I’ll be home by sundown
For dinner, I’ll just have the same thing I have every night
After all, why would I change what’s always been perfectly fine

That was a day, I’ll remember for the rest of my life
Those were the days
Lots of time has passed,
But I’m as young and bold as decades ago

The sun is shining over open fields made for a run
Whoever reaches the top of this tree is number one
I don’t know where this ball came from, but let’s kick it around
Our cheering, laughing, singing can be heard throughout the town

Later, come on by and join us for a special feast
I’m sure my folks won’t mind if you stay for the night, at least
We’ll watch something, we’ll play games, make hijinks ‘till the rising sun
Whenever we’re together, there’s always a way to have some fun

Those were the days I’ll remember for the rest of my life
Those were the days
Lots of time has passed,
But I’m as young and bold as decades ago

I’m now old enough to say “back in my day”,
but I’m just realizing how much time I have left anyway
I may fall harder than when I was a kid, but I still get up just the same

It wasn’t always easy, it wasn’t always fun,
but ask me if there’s something I’d change, I would say “not one”
The stars I used to gaze upon have finally aligned
While we all have our memories, these ones are mine

If the stars lose their twinkle or the moon loses its glow,
I’ll try my best to be the one I needed long ago
If there’s one lesson I’d hold onto, this is it, my friends
Before you ask where you should go, remember where you’ve been

Remember those days
They will mean something the rest of your life
Those were the days
No matter how old i get, I’ll stay as young and bold as decades ago
