Verse 1
Staying up late, defying mum
Hiding with your brother, having fun

Pre
Then time rolled forward with each day done
The magic years vanished one by one

Chorus
But early memories stay for ever
They are part of who we are
The love, the trust, the dreams, adventures
Things that seem so near yet far

Verse 2
Taking little chances, from safe and warm
Getting into trouble but weathering the storm 

Pre
Then time rolled forward with each day done
The magic years vanished one by one

Chorus
But childhhod memories stay for ever
They are part of who we are
The love, the trust, the dreams, adventures
Things that seem so near yet far

Middle 8
Our toys went in the attic, our parents grew old
We had children of our own, stories to be told
There time is our time, to remember with a smile
Through them to be young again for a little while

Chorus
But childhhod memories stay for ever
They are part of who we are
The love, the trust, the dreams, adventures
Things that seem so near yet far

Outro
The love, the trust, the dreams, adventures
Things that seem so near yet far
