When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
(waiting) for my favorite songs
(when) they played I'd sing along
It (made) me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I (wonder) where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long (lost) friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're (starting) to (sing) So fine
When they get to the (part)
Where he's (breaking) her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Lookin' back on
(how) it (was) in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love
(that) I would sing to then
And I'd (memorize) each word
Those old (melodies)
Still sound so good to me
As they (melt) the (years) away
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're (starting) to (sing) So fine
All my best memories
Come back (really) to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
