Do you remember there were five of us, Or maybe more We'd be together day by day We'd miss off school and hope that No one else would know for sure Living dangerously that way Searching memories of our yesterdays Far too strong to fade away Every moment has it's lifetime, And each lifetime Has it's day I'm chasing shadows all the way I'm living on memories Holding onto all my childhood dreams Those were the best years of my life I'm looking at the photographs Checking out the way we use to laugh Those were the best years of my life There was a time when everything, We did was always bad Running wild without a care And when those smiling faces changed, From happiness to sad Look around you don't despair Searching memories of our yesterdays Far too strong to fade away Every moment has it's lifetime, And each lifetime Has it's day I'm chasing shadows all the way I'm living on memories Holding onto all my childhood dreams Those were the best years of my life I'm looking at the photographs Checking out the way we use to laugh Those were the best years of my life
