Those were such happy times,
and not so long ago.
How I wondered 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-wo 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.
(Shoo-bee-do-lang -lang,
shoo-bee-do-lang-lang.)

Looking back on how
it was in years gone by,
and the good time that I had,
ma kes today seem rather sad;
so much has changed.
It was songs of love
that I would sing to them,
and I d memorize each word.
Those old melodies still sound so good to me,
as they melt
