Lyric of the day from the Gigliotti vinyl collection

Do you remember the days of the old schoolyard?
We used to laugh a lot.
Oh, don't you remember the days of the old schoolyard?

When we had simplicity
and we had warm toast for tea
and we laughed and needed love
yes, I do,
oh, and I remember you...

You were my first love (my first sweet love)
My lovey-dove (my love-lovey-dove)
No matter the place (whichever the place)
I still see your face (your smiling face)
Inside my dreams (in childish dreams)
Like king and queen (God save our dreams!)
And though time may fade (though time may fade)
It ain't never too late
to learn about love (learned about love)

"Old Schoolyard"
Cat Stevens (with Elkie Brooks), Izitso (1977)
