Sweet Music

I'm thinking about the days gone by, happy days without a care
Things were all so simple then, it's easy to remember when
Smiling faces all around bring back the happy sound

Oh sweet music, I'm missing the happy songs
Sweet music when we could sing along
Sweet music always making us feel so good
Keeps you smiling the way it always could

Harmonizing in the high school halls
Playing softball against the walls
Drinking egg creams and soda pop
Dancing feet would never stop
Slicking down our greased-up hair
Making the girls all stare
Pedal pushers and bobby socks
We were looking so groovy then
Watching Marilyn and James Dean, they were really, really keen
Crew cuts and dungarees, thought we can make the same

Who cares what the rappers play?
Don't understand a word they say
What happened to the melody?
What happened to the harmony?
You can understand every line
Things were so clear and fine

Oh sweet music, I'm missing the happy songs (yes, I am)
Sweet music, when we could sing along (what happened? What happened?)
Sweet music, always making us feel so good (so good)
Keeps you smiling the way it always could

Saying, sweet music, I'm missing the happy songs
Sweet music, when we could sing along (sing it out now)
Sweet music, always making us feel so good
You know it keeps you smiling the way it always could
The way it always should
The way it always could
