Remember when

Michael Dobbs 1960 (Te Aroha)



Do you remember when...

I barely remember now

Let alone then



They say we were great

But losing one's memory

That's something I hate



The car I could trust

Now like my brain

Is just full of rust



Days of activity and fare

To be perfectly honest

Are very rare



Most of my precious time spent

Searching endlessly

For letters never sent



Where did all that time go

Seems like just yesterday

But honestly I just don't know
