Remembering the Eighties
Way back in the eighties decade
when the computer wasn't as ace
that was when the pc era began
then we lived at a quieter pace
The first space shuttle came to be
man entering into the great unknown
the cold war came to an end
some peaceful seeds were sowing
The Berlin wall came down
east and west became as one
famine in Africa caused a stir
so live aid caused much to be done
On the movie front much to enjoy
sporting fans loved chariots of fire
Ghandi was a historical classic
watching Driving Miss Daisy no one would tire
Real stars emerged on music scene
Madonna and Whitney were all the rage
Michael J was a real star act
especially when dancing on stage
These were the days of the eighties
we remember with fondest zeal
so many changes since then
but it's still got same appeal
