Year after year
Another trace of youth disappears
Life goes by
I can't believe how fast it flashed before my eyes
I'll never forget it
How could I forget it

The smell of grass on a summer night
The taste of her lips in the clear moonlight
All part of the mystery
(The legacy of childhood dreams)

The sound of music from the stereo
The feeling of not knowing where the hell to go
All part of the history
(The legacy of childhood dreams)

Year after year
I'm closer to the end
But I have no fear
Time goes by
And when it's over
I won't be afraid to die
I'll never forget it
How could I forget it

The smell of grass on a summer night
The taste of her lips in the clear moonlight
All part of the mystery
(The legacy of childhood dreams)

The sound of music from the stereo
The feeling of not knowing where the hell to go
All part of the history

Whatever I wanted
Whatever I dreamed of

I've had it all - and so much more
I've had it all - and so much more

The smell of grass on a summer night
The taste of her lips in the clear moonlight
All part of the mystery
(The legacy of childhood dreams)

The sound of music from the stereo
The feeling of not knowing where the hell to go
All part of the history
(The legacy of childhood dreams)
All part of my history
Oh, yeah
The legacy of childhood dreams
