Days of Long Ago

Remember the days of long ago When we would sit and dream? We'd rock upon our summer porch And eat our own ice cream. We'd watch the birds work and play And we'd listen to the trees. Sometimes, we'd just close our eyes And feel the gentle breeze. Remember the summer nights When the stars would shine so bright? The crickets would sing their noisy song Until the morning light. We'd walk along the garden path Underneath the moon. And we'd listen to the lonely owl Hoot his eerie tune. The world has quickly sped on by Without us really knowing. We've been left to wonder where we are And where it is we're going.
