| He was my Best Friend at school
|
| He was handsome and cool
|
| Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie Now?
|
| The girls would all follow him home
|
| The bad boys would leave him alone
|
| Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie Now?
|
| He has every Beatle record and me I only had one…
|
| The ‘Twist and Shout' EP from 1963
|
| He talked of ‘Rubber Soul' and wonder would unfold.
|
| At lunchtime we played our guitars
|
| We dreamed of being stars
|
| Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie Now?
|
| «Worry, worry, worry, don’t you worry
|
| Everything is sure to go our way
|
| Talks never cheap and our thoughts are always streamed
|
| In our own mind
|
| Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
|
| Hurry, hurry, hurry on our way
|
| The past is behind us, it’s also up ahead so don’t delay»
|
| Though we dreamed the air of magic
|
| The magic failed to recognize us
|
| Tried to seize the day, the days got in the way
|
| They hurtled past, our plans all went astray
|
| We were so youthful and bold
|
| We never thought we’d grow old
|
| Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie?
|
| Come back and play and we’ll know where we’re going
|
| Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie Now? |
