(Remember The Days Of The) Old Schoolyard Lyrics

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot
Don't you remember the days of the old schoolyard

When we had imaginings
And we had all kinds of things
And we laughed and needed love
Yes I do, oh and I will always love you

Chorus

When we had simplicity
And we had warm toast for tea
And we laughed and needed love
Yes I do, oh and I will always love you

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot
Don't you remember the days of the old schoolyard

Where we always play, get stuck in the sweet, sweet rain
Nobody, nobody but us
Playing dirty, doctor and nurse
Nobody, nobody could see
We'd like to be free to learn about love, learn about love

You were my first sweet love
My love, love lovey dove
Inside my childlike dreams, like king and I'll be your queen
Though time may fade
It's never too late to learn about love

Chorus

Even though the actual music in this song seems really simplistic to me, I love it. You can never forget your first love, no matter how it went. Reminds me of my first love, who I met in the 3rd grade, when we had the same babysitter, and all of us kids there would always just play make believe things.

SIMPLE?! Man, I find the drum line SOoo freaking difficult. Actually, I guess you are right for most of the music but the drums are definately hard. It is a great song. It sounds so innocent and precious but pumped with fun and engery to go learn and experience things. I t also makes me think of the past of course.

there is a mistake though it says "Yes I do, oh and I will always love you" when it should say "Yes I do, oh and I remember you"

it is such a great song. reminds me of my best mate when she used to play it all the time

This song brings back so many wonderful memories of my school days, which took place around the time this record was actually released. Memories of great friends and lovely girls during the happiest years of my life. What I would give to relive those days once more.
