Píseň: Twenty Years Ago

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
Through the Years: A Retrospective
It's been a long time since 
I walked through this old town
But, oh, how the memories start to flow
And there's the old movie house, 
they finally closed it down
You could find me there every 
Friday night twenty years ago


I worked the counter at the 
drugstore down the street
But nobody's left there I would know
On Saturday mornings that's where 
all my friends would meet
You'd be surprised what 
a dime would buy twenty years ago


All my memories from those days
come gather round me
What I'd give if they could 
take me back in time
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, 
where do the good times go?
Life was so much easier 
twenty years ago


I guess I should stop by 
Mr. Johnson's hardware store
His only son was my friend Joe
But he joined the army back in 1964
How could we know he would never 
come back twenty years ago


All my memories from those days 
come gather round me
What I'd give if they could 
take me back in time
Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, 
where do the good times go?
Life was so much easier 
twenty years ago


Oh, it almost seems like yesterday 
twenty years ago
