Lyrics

I remember '62

I recall the year 1962

I was sixteen and so were you

I was sixteen, and so were you

And we lived next door

We lived as neighbors

On the avenue

Residing on the avenue

Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too

Jerry Lee and Elvis were prominent

Blue jeans and blue suede shoes

Wearing blue jeans and blue suede shoes

And we never knew

We were unaware of life's uncertainties

What life held in store

Curious about what the future held

We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more

Yearning to rock 'n' roll eternally


We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids

We, the Rock 'n' Roll Kids

Rock 'n' Roll was all we did

Rock 'n' Roll consumed our existence

listening to those songs on the radio

Immersed in songs from the radio

And I was yours and you were mine

I belonged to you, and you belonged to me

That was once upon a time

That era was once upon a time

Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore

Regrettably, we no longer engage in Rock 'n' Roll


Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door

Johnny is enamored with the girl next door

Mary's down at the record store

Mary frequents the record store

They don't want to be...around us no more

Others prefer not to be around us anymore

"Golden Oldies" but we hardly speak

"Golden Oldies," yet communication is scarce

busy running to a different beat

Busy pursuing a different rhythm

try to understand, we were once like them

Reflecting on how we were once like them

How I wish we could find those Rock 'n' Roll days again

Yearning to rediscover those Rock 'n' Roll days


We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids

We, the Rock 'n' Roll Kids

Rock 'n' Roll was all we did

Rock 'n' Roll defined our existence

listening to those songs on the radio

Engaged in the melodies from the radio

I was yours and you were mine

I belonged to you, and you belonged to me

that was once upon a time

That era was once upon a time

Now we never seem to Rock and Roll anymore

Unfortunately, Rock 'n' Roll seems distant now


We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids

We, the Rock 'n' Roll Kids

Rock 'n' Roll was all we did

Rock 'n' Roll was our constant pursuit

listening to those songs on the radio

Enamored with tunes from the radio

I was yours and you were mine

I belonged to you, and you belonged to me

that was once upon a time

That era was once upon a time


Now we never seem to Rock and Roll

Currently, Rock 'n' Roll eludes us


No, we never seem to Rock and Roll...

No, the joy of Rock 'n' Roll evades us


We just never seem to Rock and Roll anymore

We simply no longer partake in Rock 'n' Roll
