The document reminisces about listening to favorite songs on the radio when young. Hearing those same songs again makes the speaker feel happy and transported back to the past, as the melodies melt away the years. The familiar lyrics and tunes bring back fond memories and in some cases can make the speaker cry, taking them back to happier times in the past.

2. When I was young , I’d listened to the radio , Waitin’ for my favorite songs

3. Waiting they played I’d sing along , It made me smile

4. Those were such happy times , And not so long ago

5. How I wondered where they’d gone , But they’re back again

6. Just like a long lost friend , All the songs I loved so well

7. every sha-la-la-la,Every wo-wo-wo , Still shines

8. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling,That they’re starting to sing’s ,So fine

9. When they get to the part, Where he’s breakin’ her heart

10. It can really make me cry , Just like before

11. It’s yesterday once more
It’s yesterday once more

12. Lookin’ back on how it was, In years gone by

13. And the good times that I had

14. Makes today seem rather sad, So much has changed

15. It was songs of love that,I would sing to then

16. And I’d memorize each word

17. Those old melodies, Still sound so good to me ,As they melt the years away

18. every sha-la-la-la,Every wo-wo-wo , Still shines

19. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling,That they’re starting to sing’s ,So fine

20. All my best memories ,Come back clearly to me
All my best memories ,Come back clearly to me

21. Some can even make me cry , Just like before
Some can even make me cry , Just like before

22. It’s yesterday once more

23. every sha-la-la-la,Every wo-wo-wo , Still shines
every sha-la-la-la,
Every wo-wo-wo , Still shines

24. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling,That they’re starting to sing’s ,So fine

25. every sha-la-la-la,Every wo-wo-wo , Still shines
