  • Remember when you were young
    How the hero was never hung
    Always got away
    Remember, how the man
    Used to leave you empty handed
    Always, always let you down
    If you ever change your mind
    About leaving it all behind
    Remember, remember, today, hey, hey

    And don't feel sorry
    The way it's gone
    And don't you worry
    'Bout what you've done

    Just remember when you were small
    How people seemed so tall
    Always had their way, hey, hey
    Do you remember, your ma and pa
    Just wishing for movie stardom
    Always, always playing a part
    If you ever feel so sad
    And the whole world is driving you mad
    Remember, remember today, hey, hey

    And don't feel sorry
    'Bout the way it's gone
    And don't you worry
    'Bout what you've done

    No, no, remember, remember
