Reminiscing

Reminiscing the good ol' days growing up in Tagbilaran, all those countless exciting hours spent with friends... music, booze, bahaw and all, many-a-times til the wee hours of the morning. What a unique Filipino trait of bonding to build lifelong friendships!

Words and music by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

Performed by Steve Thomas

Keyboard by Catherine Styron

It seems like only yesterday
When I wrote my very first song,
I still remember how I felt
When I struck that very first chord.

I fell in love with the melody
That I still hold today,
The words so full of memories
Of how life used to be.

We've walked through life so slowly
But we've wandered far and free.
We were different and so crazy,
No moments dull and gray.

Remember how we used to sing
And serenade the girls;
We drowned ourselves with booze and beers
Until the break of day.

Our lives were full of hopes and dreams
But we didn't really care;
The clouds of "non-existence"
By then had wrapped our minds and wills.

We've walked through life so slowly
But we've wandered far and free.
We were different and so crazy,
No moments dull and gray.

We traveled life so easy,
We've wandered fancy-free,
Outrageous and so silly,
So different from today...
