I stumbled quite by chance upon a memory A memory I stumbled on today And kids were playing there, just like I used to play I pondered on them Summer hot and dusty days And wondered where the years have all gone to When days were long but far too short For all we had to do I stumbled quite by chance upon a memory A memory that I almost forgot I gazed upon the scene And feelings good I got It made me realise that though the years go by Happy kids will be there for always To bring back memories good we spent Back in our younger days ♪ You hear say it's different now Not how it used to be But I don't agree Some things don't change anyhow Just look around and see 'Cos trees and flowers still they grow And buds appear in spring Birds will always sing The same as they did long ago Sweet memories they bring I stumbled quite by chance upon a memory And for the young one day today will be A memory from the past and just by chance, like me In many years to come the past they'll stumble on And wonder where have all the years gone to When days were long but far too short for all they had to do ♪ You hear say it's different now Not how it used to be But I don't agree Some things don't change anyhow Just look around and see 'Cos trees and flowers still they grow And buds appear in spring Birds will always sing The same as they did long ago Sweet memories they bring I stumbled quite by chance upon a memory And for the young one day today will be A memory from the past and just by chance, like me In many years to come the past they'll stumble on And wonder where have all the years gone to When days were long but far too short for all they had to do When days were long but far too short for all they had to do
