Forgetful Days of Aunt Mary
Forgetful days of Aunt Mary
It no longer holds what it use to hold
And even if it could it's lost its glow
Don't sing that song of love to me
Gone, gone, old memory
You say I've fallen but I will get up
That everyone has down on luck
I no longer live in the glory days
That use to be
Gone, gone old memories
Today the sun shines into the room
And outside the flowers bloom
I sometimes see and live beyond this tomb
So old friends come see me now
Let's smile again, show me how
Let's look into the sun again
But don't ask me to remember when
Gone, gone stole from me
Those beautiful memories.
