Where Have All the Days Gone

Where have all the days gone
                             Slipping away like the rushing wind
                             With months quickly becoming years.

                             When I was young and easy
                             Days hardly seemed to pass
                             And every minute was precious.

                             Time in old age speeds our step
                             Rushing us towards the great darkness
                             From where no man returns.

                             Oh, but my golden days were in my youth
                             With memories of kisses sweeter than wine
                             And lovers in abundance.
