Chris Norman Forty Years On song lyrics

I remember back when we first started

We were all together chasing all our dreams

Every day we seemed to get much better

Our hopes and disappointments were all part of the scene

We traveled ‘round the world to spread our music

And made more friends and fans each place we played

Success just followed on, it seemed like magic

So thank you all for giving me those days

'75 we really made the breakthrough

We were riding high then with records in the charts

Toys and TV shows and all we wanted

Seemed so many people all took us to their hearts

And everything was new and so exciting

Just one big adventure all the way

We didn't know our story we were writing

So thank you all for giving me those days

Forty years on, where have they gone

Thinking of days that don't seem so long

Where are the boys that we were once then

Fortunate friends, now forty years on

Thinking of the times we shared between us

The times we shared together changed all of our lives

Memories that haunt now and forever

And only we remember those heady days and nights

Now we may be older but no wiser

Time has made us go our different ways

We won't forget who gave us all those chances

So thank you all for giving me those days

Forty years on, where have they gone

Thinking of days that don't seem so long

Where are the boys that we were once then

Fortunate friends, now forty years on
