Scenes of Yesterday

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 hop 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 days of long ago Have quickly slipped away. Now all that's left are memories Scenes of yesterday.
