Old Days

OLD DAYS

IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLE
IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN WORK WAS HARD
THERE WAS LOVE AND COMMON SENSE
AND TRUTHFUL MEANING IN OUR WORDS
IN THE OLD DAYS 2X
IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN THERE WAS QUIET
IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN THERE WAS TIME
NOT ALL THE NOISE AND STATIC
THAT CLUTTERS UP OUR MINDS
IN THE OLD DAYS 2X

WHEN PEACE WAS FOUND IN A BABY’S SMILE
OR A BABBLING BROOK IN THE PINES
IN THE OLD DAYS 2X

WHEN RIGHT WAS RIGHT AND WRONG WAS WRONG
NO MATTER THE PLACE OR TIME
IN THE OLD DAYS 2X

TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING
WE MUST KNOW FROM WHERE WE COME
AND THOSE OLD DAYS ARE THE FOUNDATION
THAT THE FUTURE’S BUILT UPON
OH THE OLD DAYS 2X

SO IN OUR OLD DAYS WHEN WE’RE LOOKING BACK
AND REMEMBERING THE THINGS WE’VE DONE
CONSIDER THE OLD DAYS FONDLY
AND GO OUT AND PASS THEM ON
OH THE OLD DAYS 2X

WHEN PEACE WAS FOUND IN A BABY’S SMILE
OR A BABBLING BROOK IN THE PINES
WHEN RIGHT WAS RIGHT AND WRONG WAS WRONG
NO MATTER THE PLACE OR TIME
IN THE OLD DAYS 2X
