Song 3: __________ _________ __________ sung by _____________

When I was young I’d listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite songs when they played I'd sing along, it makes me smile. those were such happy times and not so long ago how I wondered where they'd gone. but they're back again just like a long lost friend all the songs I love so well.(*every shalala every wo'wo still shines. every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing, so fine) When they get to the part, where he's breaking her heart it can really make me cry, just like before. it's yesterday once more. // Looking back on how it was in years gone by and the good times that I had makes me seem rather sad, so much has changed. it was songs of love that I would sing to them, and I'd memorize each word. those old melodies still sound so good to me, as they melt the years away (*repeat )

All my best memorize come back clearly to me some can even make me cry, just like before. it's yesterday once more. *(repeat)
