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.
