Those Were The Days!

Those Were The Days!

rewind me back in time
to my childhood that was once so fine in this life of mine
not a care in the world as i stroll around feeling all proud
from crawling to walking i was always heard by my sound

nothing fazed me lots of new things amazed me
just a kid who was up early mornings an never felt lazy
An soon as morning come id be out playing on the front
either kicking a ball or playing my favourite game manhunt

Id go an hide an a group of friends would try to find
always last to get caught cos i had a good place to hide
those were the days we couldnt keep track of time
no wrist watch on my arm an didnt even have a mobile

knew when it was time to go in when i heard my parents shout
"James your tea is ready" didnt wanna go i was scared id miss out
just wanted to keep hanging with friends until the day ends
pretending we was already home in our make shift dens

those were the best days of my life, getting up too many things till days turned to night, i miss those days really really bad, if it wernt for memories what would we have! ?
