Lyrics
I found a nickel in my pocket todayBeside a marble and a string of blueIt took me back to where the swings all swayAnd the morning sky was bright and newThe school bell rang a merry little tuneAcross the grass and through the hallWe couldn't wait for the stroke of noonTo race outside and play with the ballOh, those soda shop daysIn a sweet summer hazeRemember the chalkboard and the rhymes?Oh, those soda shop daysIn a sweet summer hazeBest of all possible timesThe teacher wore a flower in her hairShe taught us how to spell and addWe didn't have a single worry or careEven when the rainy days were badWe’d swap our sandwiches and apple pieAnd talk about the things we’d beWatching the puffy clouds floating byUnder the shade of the old oak treeOh, those soda shop daysIn a sweet summer hazeRemember the chalkboard and the rhymes?Oh, those soda shop daysIn a sweet summer hazeBest of all possible timesThe ink is dry upon the dusty pageOf the yearbook tucked beneath the bedIt doesn't matter what we call our ageOr the busy lives that we have ledI close my eyes and I can see it plainThe bicycle waiting by the gateTo ride back down that sunny laneBefore the kitchen clock turns lateOh, those soda shop daysIn a sweet summer hazeRemember the chalkboard and the rhymes?Oh, those soda shop daysIn a sweet summer hazeBest of all possible times
