THOSE WERE THE DAYS

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Take me back to the days of my youth,

When I was a slip of a girl.

Let me see again the days

When my life was in a whirl.

I long to hear the laughter

And sing the songs we knew.

I remember long clear days

When nothing clouded our view.

I remember the flowers you sent me

I remember the look in your eyes.

I see again before me

Open, clear blue skies.

Let me splash my feet in the water

And wriggle my toes in the sand,

Let me feel again the tenderness

As you reach out for my hand.

Take me back to the days of my youth

Let memory be my friend

For it is in my memory

These days will never end.
