Time Gone By

As I sit by the side of this old river
I'm thinking back on the days gone by
How time passed has changed me
And I really don't know why
There was a time my hair didn't reach my shoulders
And these lines weren't painted on my face
No I can't help but smile
When I think back for a while
Another time another day, another place

Time gone by
will never return
Yesterday is just a bridge
That one should never burn
Looking back through the memories
Will take you away
To another time
Another place another day

As I take a long look here around me
I see things that still look the same
And it makes me smile
To know there's things in life
That are never going to change
There's that old clock sitting on the mantle
It's been there since the very first day
Here's a shelf full of old family pictures
And this old guitar my uncle used to play

Time gone by
Will never return
Yesterday is just a bridge
That one should never burn
Looking back through the memories
Will take you away
To another time
Another place another day

Time gone by
Will never return
Yesterday is just a bridge
That one should never burn
Looking back through the memories
Will take you away
