Beating time on cardboard boxes
In an attic cold as ice
We were Freddie & The Dreamers
With stars before our eyes
verse#2
But as we loaded up the Dansette
With a stack of 45's
How could we have known that these were
The best years of our lives
Pre-Chorus
It's so long ag o
It seem like an age
Whatever happened to the dream
We didn't wake up sudden ly
Reality creeps up from be hind
Leaving you running out of time
Verse #3
Bought a ticket at the station
Waved my brother John goodbye
Got the ferry down to Hamburg
Went looking for a life
Verse #4
I began my education
Learned my lessons on the road
Started living for the moment
And following the code
Pre-Chorus
They can't take away
My memories
Whatever happened to the dream
We didn't wake up sudden ly
Reality creeps up from be hind
Leaving you running out of time
Em7 Em9 A Em7 Em9 A
They can't take away
My memories
Whatever happened to the dream
We didn't wake up sudden ly
Reality creeps up from be hind
Leaving you running out of time
Whatever happened to the dream
We didn't wake up sudden ly
Reality creeps up from be hind
Leaving you running out of time
Em7 Em9 A fade
