Analysis of MEMORIES OF YESTERDAYS (for Shar Sabo)
MEMORIES OF YESTERDAYS (for Shar Sabo)
I remember the good old days
all the laughter we had always
the parties,
and the happies
I remember all these yesterdays
These memories keeps us going
I remember the times with you
all the fun things we went through
the drinking,
and the thinking
I recollect these yesterdays, I do
These memories keeps us smiling
I remember our mateship was strong
all those times we sang our song
the harmony,
and the of-key
I recall the yesterdays all day long
These memories keeps us singing
I remember we went everywhere
all the places there, here or there
the joints,
and more joints
I retrieve these yesterdays anywhere
These memories keeps us buzzing
I remember those drives in the car
all those roads that took us so far
the streets,
and the sleeps
I memorise these yesterdays, my Shar
These memories keeps us driving
I remember that we never had a fight
all the time happy, each day and night
the fun,
and the sun
I am thinking of you right now, tonight
These memories keeps us moving
I remember memories of yesterdays
all the golden moments of those days
the best,
and the rest
I remember all these yesterdays
These memories of yesterdays keeps us living
