The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era.

If ever you think about the happiest days of your life 
Cast back your mind for a while 
And remember the time when you were a child. 
Don't think of things that make you sad, 
Just remember all the good times that you had. 

Do you remember only happy days, 
Full of flaming Junes and summer holidays? 
Or do you remember those stormy Novembers 
When we walked in the wind and the rain? 
Schooldays were such happy days 
Now they seem so far away, 
I remember and I'll always treasure. 
Schooldays were the happiest days of your life 
But we never appreciate the good times we have 
Until it's too late. 

I miss all the acquaintances we made 
And I'd go back if I could only find a way, 
Schooldays were the happiest days 
Though at the time they filled me with dismay. 
We only remember what we choose to remember. 
When I was a schoolboy I loathed regulations and rules 
I hated my textbooks and my school uniform, 
Cause it made me conform, 
And teachers were always disobeyed, 
But I'd go back if I could only find a way. 

Schooldays were the happiest days, 
Now they seem so far away. 
I remember and I'll always treasure 
Schooldays were the happiest days of your life 
But we never appreciate the good times we have 
Until it's too late. 
Now I wish I hadn't strayed, 
And I'd go back if I could only find a way. 
Schooldays.
