Best Years - Praying Mantis

Do you remember there were five of us,

Or maybe more

We’d be together day by day

We’d miss off school and hope that

No one else would know for sure

Living dangerously that way

Searching memories of our yesterdays

Far too strong to fade away

Every moment has it’s lifetime,

And each lifetime

Has it’s day

I’m chasing shadows all the way

I’m living on memories

Holding onto all my childhood dreams

Those were the best years of my life

I’m looking at the photographs

Checking out the way we use to laugh

Those were the best years of my life

There was a time when everything,

We did was always bad

Running wild without a care

And when those smiling faces changed,

From happiness to sad

Look around you don’t despair

Searching memories of our yesterdays

Far too strong to fade away

Every moment has it’s lifetime,

And each lifetime

Has it’s day

I’m chasing shadows all the way

I’m living on memories

Holding onto all my childhood dreams

Those were the best years of my life

I’m looking at the photographs

Checking out the way we use to laugh

Those were the best years of my life
