I remember when I was young And heard those first chords on the radio A shiver ran down through my spine It changed my life, and that's all I know No matter where I went I heard those songs that blew my mind At that moment I realized That was what I wanted for my life With the first pence that I got I went into a store and bought a record Then I could always hear those tunes That went straight to my soul and my heart And nowadays when I see a young man Singing like I did before Those songs are still alive Hope knocks on my door Well, I love those glory days And I know that they're not gone I am happy that the old is new again Well, I love those glory days And I know that they're not gone I am happy that the old is new again With the first pence that I got I went into a store and bought a record Then I could always hear those tunes That went straight to my soul and my heart And nowadays when I see a young man Singing like I did before (like I did before) Those songs are still alive Hope knocks on my door Well, I love those glory days And I know that they're not gone I am happy that the old is new again Well, I love those glory days And I know that they're not gone I am happy that the old is new again
