Analysis of once long ago
I used to go to this school
once long ago
10 to 9 each morning
off to school I would go
I used to play on the steps
see them over there
maybe this is my desk
and that could be my chair
look there's my old classroom
that one over there
unforgotten memories
of days without a care
