Lyrics
Do you remember, and how does it feel?
A mother and father, a couple of kids, and a Dormobile
Leaving home in the morning, sun in the sky
Life was so simple and so small, and so was I
Do you remember?
And if we can, you know we will
We're going to take that ball and roll it down the hill
Light in our eyes, head full of dreams
It's all a part of us, it's closer than it seems
A couple of children like all of the rest
A mother and father just doing their best
They took us to Butlins, who could ask for more?
Black and white photographs are spread out on the floor
Do you remember?
And if we can, you know we will
We're going to take that ball and roll it down the hill
Light in our eyes, head full of dreams
It's all a part of us, it's closer than it seems
And when I look back on things I thought were just a curse
Well I can turn round and say it could have been much worse
I've seen the darkness that could steal away my soul
I've seen the brightest day that comes and makes us whole
Do you remember?
And if we can, you know we will
We're going to take that ball and roll it down the hill
Light in our eyes, head full of dreams
It's all a part of us, it's closer than it seems.
