Oh, what happened to you?

Whatever happened to me?

What became of the people we used to be?

Tomorrow's almost over,

Today went by so fast,

The only thing to look forward to is the past?

Theme from 'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads'

If ever you think about the happiest days of your life

Cast back your mind for a while

And remember the time when you were a child.

Don't think of things that make you sad,

Just remember all the good times that you had.

Do you remember only happy days,

Full of flaming Junes and summer holidays?

Or do you remember those stormy Novembers

As we walked in the wind and the rain?

Schooldays were such happy days

Now they seem so far away,

I remember and I'll always treasure.

Schooldays were the happiest days of your life

But we never appreciate the good times we have

Until it's too late.

I miss all the acquaintances we made

And I'd go back if I could only find a way,

Schooldays were the happiest days

Though at the time they filled me with dismay.

We only remember what we choose to remember.

When I was a schoolboy I loathed regulations and rules

I hated my textbooks and my school uniform,

'Cos it made me conform,

And teachers were always disobeyed,

But I'd go back if I could only find a way.

Schooldays were the happiest days,

Now they seem so far away.

I remember and I'll always treasure

Schooldays were the happiest days of your life

But we never appreciate the good times we have

Until it's too late.

Now I wish I hadn't strayed,

                                                    And I'd go back if I could only find a way.

                                                    Those schooldays

                                                     By Ray Davies - The Kinks

Memories, 

Light the corners of my mind 

Misty water-colored memories 

Of the way we were 

Scattered pictures, 

Of the smiles we left behind 

Smiles we gave to one another 

For the way we were 

Can it be that it was all so simple then? 

Or has time re-written every line? 

If we had the chance to do it all again 

Tell me, would we? Could we? 

Memories, may be beautiful and yet 

What’s too painful to remember 

We simply choose to forget 

So it's the laughter 

We will remember 

Whenever we remember... 

The way we were... 

The Way We Were
