Watching the soldiers in olive green uniforms,
Brings in a deja vu of some sorts.
Reminds me of the cantonment and the base,
Oh bring me back those army days!
Weekdays meant riding the huge green 3 ton for a drop to school,
Weekends meant Officers Mess parties with gupshup,food, and movies so cool.
All those moments seem to dissapear in a haze
Oh bring me back those army days!
Our dictionary was filled with words like jonga,ladies meet,quarters, canteen, bhaiyas and more,
Local customs made us dance to the tunes of Bihu and folklore.
Diwali,Xmas, Holi colours lit up our face
Oh bring me back those army days!
Flashbacks of dad's farewells filled with tunes of Jolly Good Fellow ,
All these memories and more make me feel a little mellow.
I hop and jump back to today where time flies and life is just a race,
I look up to the sky this time to make sure he heard my plea
Oh bring me back those army days!
