| It's been a long time since he walked | |
| Through this old town | |
| But oh how the memories start to flow | |
| there's the old movie house | |
| They finally closed it down | |
| You could find him there every Friday night | |
| Twenty years ago | |
| He worked the counter at the drug store down the street | |
| But nobody's left there he would know | |
| On Saturday mornings that's where all his friends would meet | |
| You'd be surprised what a dime could buy | |
| Twenty years ago | |
| (Chorus) | |
| * | |
| All his memories from those days came gather round him | |
| What he'd give if they could take him back in time | |
| Oh. it almost seems like yesterday | |
| Where do the good times go | |
| Life was so much easier | |
| Twenty years ago* | |
| He guessed he should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store | |
| Whose only son was his friend Joe | |
| But Joe joined the army back in 1964 | |
| How could they know he would never come back | |
| Twenty years ago | |
| (Repeat*) | |
| Oh. it almost seems like yesterday | |
| Twenty years ago | |
| Repeat Chorus | |
| Oh. it almost seems like yesterday | |
| Twenty years ago | |
| *廿年前 | |
| 当他重游昔日老镇, | |
| 往事历历开始浮现在他眼前...... | |
| 破旧的电影院...... | |
| 终于结束营业。 | |
| 廿年前, | |
| 那是每个星期五晚上,他必报到的地方。 | |
| 从前他是路旁那家杂货店的伙计, | |
| 但他知道,人事依旧 | |
| 每个星期六早上,他的朋友都会在那集合, | |
| 你一定会惊讶, | |
| 廿年前, | |
| 一毛钱可以买那么多东西。 | |
| (合唱) | |
| *往事又历历浮在他眼前, | |
| 他多愿不计一切, | |
| 让自己能再回到从前, | |
| 啊!恍如昨日,美好时光,已成幻梦...... | |
| 廿年前, | |
| 生活是多么惬意* | |
| 或许他也该去强生的五金店看看,...... | |
| 强生的独生子乔是他的朋友, | |
| 但乔在1964年去从军,在廿年以前 | |
| 而他们怎么会知道,他从此一去不回。 | |
| (重覆*) | |
| 啊!廿年前的往事 | |
| 历历宛如昨天。 |
