Memory Lane.
- Come stroll with me down memory lane,
- Your life will never more be the same.
- Remember when you were young and so agile,
- Forget the now forget that you are fragile.
- As a child you could not wait,
- Christmas. Birthdays came always so late.
- Time seemed to go slower in the good old days,
- Over the years you have altered your ways.
- Think back to your first day at school,
- Excitement in the classroom and your very own stool.
- Sitting at your desk listening to Teachers voice,
- You would sooner be playing; this is not of your choice.
- A swim in the river with kids of your age,
- Not in a classroom it was just a cage.
- The cinema was then all the rage,
- The first cigarette you were under age.
- Then the first date that you remember so well,
- A first shy kiss your parents you did not tell.
- The school dance you ask what shall I wear,
- In those days about your appearance you did care.
- Schooldays left behind you your very first job,
- Your sweetheart has left you; time for a sob.
- A new romance serious this time.
- You hear Church bells ringing what a lovely chime.
- Marriage then children doesn't time go fast?
- Dwell on the good thoughts they will not last.
- Now dwell on the thrills and joys in your life,
- The memories pour through some cut like a knife.
- It has been pleasant this trip down memory lane,
- When you are up to it we can do it again.
