Verse 1
Staying up late, defying mum
Fighting with your brother, having fun
Taking little chances, from safe and warm
Getting into trouble and weathering the storm 

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

Chorus
But those early memories stay for ever
Our fleeting moments from the past
The love, the trust, the dreams, adventures
These are part of who we are

Verse 2
Lots of special birthdays, hugs and kisses too
Becoming self-aware and growing into you
Getting into school, making lots of friends
Some still with you, some came to an end

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

Chorus
But those  early memories stay for ever
Our fleeting moments from the past
The love, the trust, the dreams, adventures
These are part of who we are

Middle 8
Our toys went in the attic, parents grew old
We had children of our own, with lives to unfold
There time is our time, to enjoy with a smile
Through them we can re-live those days for a while

Chorus
But those early memories stay for ever
Our fleeting moments from the past
The love, the trust, the dreams, adventures
These are part of who we are

Outro
The love, the trust, the dreams, adventures
They are part of who we are
