Years ago I dreamt ot the lIfe I'd live
Years ago I thought of the things I'd do
Years ago I dreamt of the gIrl I'd love

When I grew older
To be a young man
To be a grown man
To take my place In the world

Lory lory, lory lory, lory lory,
Lory lory ohhh...

I grew up went to work and left my dreams
I grew up found that lIfe has hIdden sIdes
I grew up tested thIngs wIth my own hands

Then I met a young gIrl
To share my story
To love and marry
And proudly carry to my home

Lory lory, lory lory, lory lory,
Lory lory ohhh...

As years passed
I learnt that love doesn't fast
As years passed
I saw lIfe's not what It seems.
As years passed,
I have gone back to my dreams.

But my dreams grew sadder,
And know I feel old
My heart has grown cold,
And the story's told of my lIfe.

Lory lory, lory lory, lory lory,
Lory lory ohhh...

Years ago, I had my lIfe... ? Of me
Years ago thought luck be wIth me
Years I was sure I could be happy

When I grew older
To be a young man
To be a grown man
To take my place In the world

Lory lory, lory lory, lory lory,
Lory lory ohhh...
