Those were the days...
Those were the days;
I remember, while I was still a child.
My mother told me to be wise and acquire knowledge.
Those were the days;
my father took my hand, and said to me;
be happy my child,
is to be satisfied with what you have.
Those were the days;
that's good to remember
and hard to forget.
Those were the days;
that's gone forever
and never come back again!
Left behind memories to recall...
those were the days.
