Sometimes it's nice to go back in time....it rejuvanates me and my thoughts. I still feel as young as a teenager.
As I was driving down
For the first time
On a holiday with family and friends,
In nine years of my marriage
Hoping it would be a special trip of remembrance
In my old age
Driving down the coast
I was driving back to memory lane
Still the road I love the most, in town.
The road once terribly rough and bumpy
Now so smooth and beautiful
Those were the days, I used to go
With friends so dear and near
Some of them there, some of them here
Some of them no more
Loud music, fun and laughter
A little bit of romance
I know I was a lot naughtier.
Such carefree lives, such fun times
Some I can never forget.
Wish I could bring back those days
Those days of freedom
Those days of being innocent and naïve
Nothing to be bothered about really
Never thought of marriage and kids
Never thought of sicknesses
Never thought of what to cook
Never thought of being diplomatic
Never thought of me in such a mature role
Responsible......well I guess
It was meant to happen
In time, it did
How life was taken for granted
Why life alone? Everything.....
Today after so many years
I cherish and enjoy looking back
Memories of the past
Wonderful life, God had blessed me with
Still am blessed
Now married, so different
Yet wonderful
I'm still smiling ***

DOWN MEMORY LANE
As I was driving down
For the first time
On a holiday with family and friends,
In nine years of my marriage
Hoping it would be a special trip of remembrance
In my old age
Driving down the coast
I was driving back to memory lane
Still the road I love the most, in town.
The road once terribly rough and bumpy
Now so smooth and beautiful
Those were the days, I used to go
With friends so dear and near
Some of them there, some of them here
Some of them no more
Loud music, fun and laughter
A little bit of romance
I know I was a lot naughtier.
Such carefree lives, such fun times
Some I can never forget.
Wish I could bring back those days
Those days of freedom
Those days of being innocent and naïve
Nothing to be bothered about really
Never thought of marriage and kids
Never thought of sicknesses
Never thought of what to cook
Never thought of being diplomatic
Never thought of me in such a mature role
Responsible......well I guess
It was meant to happen
In time, it did
How life was taken for granted
Why life alone? Everything.....
Today after so many years

Wonderful life, God had blessed me with
Still am blessed
Now married, so different
