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
當他重遊昔日老鎮，
往事歷歷開始浮現在他眼前......
破舊的電影院......
終於結束營業。
廿年前，
那是每個星期五晚上，他必報到的地方。
從前他是路旁那家雜貨店的夥計，
但他知道，人事依舊
每個星期六早上，他的朋友都會在那集合，
你一定會驚訝，
廿年前，
一毛錢可以買那麼多東西。
(合唱)
*往事又歷歷浮在他眼前，
他多願不計一切，
讓自己能再回到從前，
啊！恍如昨日，美好時光，已成幻夢......
廿年前，
生活是多麼愜意*
或許他也該去強生的五金店看看，......
強生的獨生子喬是他的朋友，
但喬在１９６４年去從軍，在廿年以前
而他們怎麼會知道，他從此一去不回。
(重覆*)
啊！廿年前的往事
歷歷宛如昨天。
