A word, a song, a sudden thought, brings pictures to my mind,

Which take me back into my past, to another place and time.

To the friends I knew, the games we played, the things we said and did,

It only takes a sudden word, then I'm back when I'm a kid.

A song played on the radio, a picture on T.V,

Bring all those youthful memories, flooding back to me.

I'll be standing by the old canal, or diving in the sea,

That's, what those sudden thoughts, will sometimes do to me.

The mates I knew, where are they now, Brian, Dukie, Chris,

They'll always be a part of me, of my youth I sometimes miss.
