Song information
Three school friends of yesteryear met online. One from the Cambridge, UK area (Ken), the other from Australia (Peter), and me in Vancouver, Canada. All are poetry pretenders! LOL! Ken and Peter came up with the tune. I wrote the lyric, and sang! Ken did the wonderful backing! We're all in our 80s. FUN!!! Still kicking! Picture is of our old school, The Victoria Institution in Kuala Lumpur.

Lyrics
Echoes of the Past
© June 23, 2019 Music by KV Lee, Peter Lim; Lyric by Stan Loh
Song about three old schoolmates meeting after several decades across the oceans

Verse 1
Prayers between the pages of The Evening Star,
Song of Hiawatha coming from afar,
The echoes come apart, the notes of Longfellow’s past,
Friendships over the ocean makes music start,
Magic has begun,
No moon meets the sun,
Old friend’s memoirs bring, this song we will sing,
It’s homespun!

Bridge
Halfway round the world are separate attributes, 
Twilight years are spreading old school roots,
I will want to show them,
There’s no way I change them,
I’m reminding you!

Old school tales are always there …
We recall them anywhere, 
In your breath you know them,
In your thoughts you keep them all!

Reflection
Echoes of the long, long past,
Echoes of the Past,
Is that you up there in that half-way hill,
Bringing yesterday’s goodwill!
Verse 2
Stand so straightly in our greying years,
Praise I want to offer you all my cheers,
Champions of the past, we always had the class,
Cambridge Oxford blues we’re still steadfast,
In quest we never cried,
In victories, in our strides,
Our memory raises doubts, but not all can count me out,
Don’t count me out.

Outro
Echoes of the long, long past,
Echoes of the Past,
Is that you up there in that half-way hill,
Bringing yesterday’s goodwill!
