Arranger:Anthony Kwah
It's been a long time since he walked
Through this old town
But oh how the memories start to flow & there's the old movie house
They finally closed it down
You could find him there every Friday night
Twenty years ago
He worked the counter at the drug store down the street
But nobody's left there he would know
On Saturday mornings that's where all his friends would meet
You'd be surprised what a dime could buy
Twenty years ago
(Chorus)
*
All his memories from those days came gather round him
What he'd give if they could take him back in time
Oh. it almost seems like yesterday
Where do the good times go
Life was so much easier
Twenty years ago*
He guessed he should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store
Whose only son was his friend Joe
But Joe joined the army back in 1964
How could they know he would never come back
Twenty years ago
(Repeat*)
Oh. it almost seems like yesterday
Twenty years ago
Repeat Chorus
Oh. it almost seems like yesterday
Twenty years ago
*廿年前
当他重游昔日老镇,
往事历历开始浮现在他眼前......
破旧的电影院......
终于结束营业。
廿年前,
那是每个星期五晚上,他必报到的地方。
从前他是路旁那家杂货店的伙计,
但他知道,人事依旧
每个星期六早上,他的朋友都会在那集合,
你一定会惊讶,
廿年前,
一毛钱可以买那么多东西。
(合唱)
*往事又历历浮在他眼前,
他多愿不计一切,
让自己能再回到从前,
啊!恍如昨日,美好时光,已成幻梦......
廿年前,
生活是多么惬意*
或许他也该去强生的五金店看看,......
强生的独生子乔是他的朋友,
但乔在1964年去从军,在廿年以前
而他们怎么会知道,他从此一去不回。
(重复*)
啊!廿年前的往事
历历宛如昨天。
