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.
