I remember when I was young
And heard those first chords on the radio
A shiver ran down through my spine
It changed my life, and that's all I know

No matter where I went
I heard those songs that blew my mind
At that moment I realized
That was what I wanted for my life

With the first pence that I got
I went into a store and bought a record
Then I could always hear those tunes
That went straight to my soul and my heart

And nowadays when I see a young man
Singing like I did before
Those songs are still alive
Hope knocks on my door

Well I love those glory days
And I know that they're not gone
I am happy that the old is new again

Well I love those glory days
And I know that they're not gone
I am happy that the old is new again

With the first pence that I got
I went into a store and bought a record
Then I could always hear those tunes
That went straight to my soul and my heart

And nowadays when I see a young man
Singing like I did before (Like I did before)
Those songs are still alive
Hope knocks on my door

Well I love those glory days
And I know that they're not gone
I am happy that the old is new again

Well I love those glory days
And I know that they're not gone
I am happy that the old is new again
