Seems like only yesterday
That I would dream my life away
And think of all the things I'd say and do
Yea, I had lots of plans for me
And I'd make up these melodies
And sing 'em to the sky so crisp and blue

I hear it, I hear it now
You hear it, we hear it now

Every dollar I could get
I'd spent it on the latest hit
And I just knew this sound would get me through
I knew their faces, knew their names
I'd memorize the words they sang
And I pretended I could sing 'em too.

I hear it, I hear it now
You hear it, we hear it now

There's nothin' like a good song
One that makes you move
One that makes you strong
Can't beat a good song
One that makes you fly
One that lasts you all night long

Well it was 1964
And they were really fab those four
I heard 'em on that Sunday evening "shew"
The music grabbed a hold of me
Now may it never set me free
Cause when I'm finished playin', then I'm through

I hear it, I hear it now
You hear it, we hear it now

There's nothin' like a good song
One that makes you move
One that makes you strong
Can't beat a good song
One that makes you smile
One makes you want to sing along

Don't like hip hop, don't like rap
You'll just have to deal with that
I like my blues, I like my jazz
And all that new age raz-ma-taz
I like my tabernacle choir
And how that music takes me higher
I like my country
And all those big screen movie scores
I like my folk, I like my pop
I like my instrumental stuff
I like my soundtracks and my classics
And my rock 'n roll!

There's nothin' like a good song
One that makes you move
One that makes you strong
Can't beat a good song
One that makes you move
One that makes you want to sing along
