The Golden Years of my Youth

In the Land that is in my Mind,

Buried deep where the Trees have fallen,

Memories of another Time,

A child's voice, so familiar's calling me.

Forgotten places I can see!

I remember the Faces of my Dreams!

Ooh, Ooh, ooh!

I remember the Golden Years of my Youth!

Friends that I haven't seen in years

Sharing Dreams of a special kind,

Taking on the World with our Know-it-all innocence,

Damn!

It's a shame we're Strangers now

Just like the pages of a novel

That I red a million years ago before bedtime with queasy eyes!

Ooh, Ooh, ooh!

I remember the Golden Years of my Youth!

When I stepped out into the World -

The breaking of the chains -

To try and take hold of the reins of my Destiny

And to deal with the Changes my own way...

The Road in front of me and the Wind against my back,

It was a feeling of adrenaline -

Drug of Joy and Fear-unknown!

There was no turning back

From the Path that I chose so long ago

But now that I'm older,

I remember the Golden Years of my Youth!

(Ooh, ooh, ooh!)

I remember the Golden Years of my Youth!

(Ooh, ooh, ooh!)

I remember the Golden Years of my Youth!

(Ooh, ooh, ooh!)
