New words
I recall when I was young oh
I will play and always having fun
With the neighbor next to me
And we'll play until the setting sun
Try to be the best among the others
In a game call the spider battle
It doesn't matter who is the best now
Those were the days of my past
Few years later when I got to school
And was late for lesson all the time
Always day dreaming in the class till
I don't even know the lesson's done
Then my teacher always tell
Me never ever be lazy again
What can I do now
What can I say now
Those the days of my past
As the days go on and on
I grew up and had my first love
Candle light and sandy beach
Finally give away my first kiss
Mother said I was too young to
Fall in love and then I will one day regret
So love was over but I do miss her
Those were the days of my past
Days of my past
