[Verse 1]
Like we really used to before we met in the fall
I can't regain it, my youth has gone
We really had it all, oh

[Chorus]
Hold me like you really used to
A summer’s day in Gloucestershire
The view is changing
See them laughing, in their gardens
I wish that we'll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we'll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire, again

[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, oooh, ahhhh
Da da da, da da da da-aa

[Verse 2]
Hold me like you really used to before we met in the fall
I can't regain it, my youth has gone
We really had it all, oh

[Chorus]
Hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
The view is changing
See them laughing, in their gardens
I wish that we'll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we'll see Gloucestershire, again

[Verse 3]
Hold me like you really used to before we met in the fall
I can't regain it, my youth has gone
We really had it all

[Chorus]
So, hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
The view is changing
See them laughing, in their gardens
I wish that we'll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire ('cestershire, ’cestershire)
'Cestershire ('cestershire)

Hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
The view is changing
See them laughing, in their gardens
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we'll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we'll see Gloucestershire, again

Again, so
Hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
Hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
Just hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
Just hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
Just hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
Just hold me like you really used to
A summer's day in Gloucestershire
Just hold me like you really used to

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
