When I was young
I´d listen to the radio
Waitin´ for my favorite songs
When they played I´d sing along
It made me smile.

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-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine.

When they get to the part
Where he´s breakin´ her heart
It can really make me cry

Just like before
It´s yesterday once more.

Lookin´ back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.

It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I´d memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o

Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine.

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more.
