Thinking back a long long ways
A song we used to sing yesterday
The time is right, lift your eyes

A song we used to sing yesterday
The time is right, lift your eyes
How can you go wrong singing a song?
Thinking back a long long ways
A song we used to sing yesterday
The time is right, lift your eyes
How can you go wrong singing a song?
