Lyrics: 

Sometimes I get to thinkin' 'bout days gone by
And I start cryin' every time
What I wouldn't give if I could just relive
One day with those old friends of mine

No one ever planned it, but every day at four
We would get together at the corner candy store
We'd just ignore the sign, 'no dancing allowed'
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, how I miss the old crowd

Sally was the funny one, Sue wore the hippest clothes
Eddy was the wise guy, there's always one of those
Johnny used to sing off key, but, boy, he was loud
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, how I miss the old crowd

Well, now it is funny, when high school days are through
Friendships always come to an end
Everybody tells you they'll keep in touch, yeah
But you don't see them again, oh, no

It's not that I'm unhappy, I know I still have you
But I still think about those good times we knew
We were so carefree then, our hearts were on a cloud
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, how I miss the old crowd

Oh, how I miss the old crowd
Yeah, how I miss the old crowd
