If ever you think about the happiest days of your life   Cast back your mind for a while   And remember the time when you were a child   Don't think of things that make you sad   Just remember all the good times that you had      Do you remember only happy days   Full of flaming Junes and summer holidays?   Or do you remember those stormy Novembers   When we walked in the wind and the rain?   Schooldays were such happy days   Now they seem so far away   I remember and I'll always treasure   Schooldays were the happiest days of your life   But we never appreciate the good times we have   Until it's too late      I miss all the acquaintances we made   And I'd go back if I could only find a way   Schooldays were the happiest days   Though at the time they filled me with dismay   We only remember what we choose to remember   When I was a schoolboy I loathed regulations and rules   I hated my textbooks and my school uniform   'Cos it made me conform   And teachers were always disobeyed   But I'd go back if I could only find a way      Schooldays were the happiest days   Now they seem so far away   I remember and I'll always treasure   Schooldays were the happiest days of your life   But we never appreciate the good times we have   Until it's too late   Now I wish I hadn't strayed   And I'd go back if I could only find a way   Schooldays
