Ooh, it is snowing,

Outside it is snowing.

Somewhere on 5th Avenue I used to know a friend.

In my bed I'm lying.

Times I am defying.

There's no will, no remedy for all the years gone by.

[Robin]

Back in 1958:

We used to swing on Harry's gate.

The things we did we though were great in 1958.

[Barry]

Back in 1964:

We used to knock on Harry's door.

And do the things we did before in 1964.

[Robin]

I hear some music

Some old-fashioned music

It's played so often in my head, I don't know anymore.

In my bed I'm lying.

Age I am defying.

I close my eyes and in my dreams I see those days again.

Back in 1958:

We used to swing on Harry's gate.

The things we did we though were great in 1958.

[Robin]

Back in 1964:

We used to knock on Harry's door.

And do the things we did before in 1964.

[Barry & Robin]

Back in 1965:

The things we did were more alive.

We knew we'd live throughout the drive in 1965.

Oh...oh...oh
