When I was young
I'd listened 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-wo-wo still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting 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?


All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can really make me cry

Just like before
It's yesterday once more
