If  ever you think  about the happiest  days of your life
Cast  back your mind for a while
 And remember  the time when you  were a child.
Don't  think of the things  that make you sad
JUst  remember the good  times you had.
Do  you remember only happy  days,
 Full of flaming Junes  and summer holidays?
Or  do you remember those stormy  Novembers
 When we walked  in the wind and the rain?
Schooldays  were such happy  days,
Now  they seem so far away,
I  remember and I'll always treasure.
School  days  were the happiest  days of your life
But  we never appreciate  the good  times we have
Until  its  too late.
I  miss all the acquantances  we made
And  I'd go back if i could  only find a way,
Schooldays  were the happiest  days
 Though at the time  they filled me with dismay.
We  only remember what we choose  to remember.
When  I was a schoolboy  I loathed
regulations  and rules,
I  hated my textbooks  and my school  uniform
Cos'  it made  me conform,
And  teachers were always  disobeyed,
But  I'd go back if I could  only find  a way.
School  days were the happiest  days,
Now  they seem so far away.
I  remember and I'll always treasure,
School  days  were the happiest  days of your life
But  we never appreciate  the good  times that we hav
Until  it's  too late.
 Now I wish  I hadn't strayed
And  I'd go back if I could  only find  a way.
Schooldays.
