I Can Still Remember

(Album: Round The Fire - 1995)

Seventeen, down and out, poor friends together
When my Dad, proudly made my first guitar
We practiced everyday, over and over
A dream came true; our star was born in a local bar

I can still remember, how it's all begun
Singing songs together, 'round the fire
Oh, we had lots of fun
I can still remember, it seems like yesterday
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hanging on
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hanging on

We had no Buick, no Limousine, but a coster's barrow
That we borrowed, from the ragman in the street
We had to bring him beer, over and over
One day he said: "You may pay me, when you're number one"

I can still remember, how it's all begun
Singing songs together, 'round the fire
Oh, we had lots of fun
I can still remember, it seems like yesterday
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hanging on
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hanging on

I can still remember, it seems like yesterday
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hanging on
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hanging on
