Lyrics by Sean Kelly; Music by The Samples


I was going through some pictures of mine
your smile caught on film
taken in some corner of time
laughing in the wind

It takes me back from where I stand
and puts me there again
but when they ask I always say
I don’t know where or when

Such a long long time ago

I remember the face of a world
free wild and young
Dee Dee with her passion for curls
that never came undone

To fix it all my mother tried
she really tried her best
to keep us safe to keep us warm
and to keep us fed

Such a long long time ago

I’m living now without regrets
every stone has to roll
looking back at who I was
in my heart and soul

The class of 1979 was written on a tree
all the dreams we had those days
are still a part of me
Such a long long time ago…class of 1979
