Beating time on cardboard boxes In an attic cold as ice We were Freddie & The Dreamers With stars before our eyes But as we loaded up the Dansette With a stack of 45's How could we have known that these were The best years of our lives It's so long ago It seem like an age Whatever happened to the dream We didn't wake up suddenly Reality creeps up from behind Leaving you running out of time Bought a ticket at the station Waved my brother John goodbye Got the ferry down to Hamburg Went looking for a life I began my education Learned my lessons on the road Started living for the moment And following the code They can't take away My memories Whatever happened to the dream We didn't wake up suddenly Reality creeps up from behind Leaving you running out of time They can't take away My memories Whatever happened to the dream We didn't wake up suddenly Reality creeps up from behind Leaving you running out of time
