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。
