Where Have They Gone - Those Days of Old
Where have they gone, those days of old:
their melody- simple and sweet;
a blending of the joys that hold
warm thoughts in memories' retreat.
Their melody- simple and sweet:
fires burning, loved ones gathered near;
warm thoughts in memories' retreat-

Days of Old
A long time ago in those days of old,
there was one thing we were supposed to do.
They scribbled it down in letters of gold,
treat others as you would have them treat you.’
We are supposed to love all our neighbors,
feed the hungry and help protect the...

Days of OldHow I still long for those days of old
When I was young and free
When my heart was sweet and pure as gold
How I still long for those days of old
Now days are tough and the fires are cold
Gloom has covered me
How I long for those...

In Days of OldIn days of old when men were bold
And they didn’t use moisturiser....
They shaved with a sword,
slapped whisky on their chin
And didn’t use aftershave in an atomiser
The scraped the dirt off with a shell, they reeked a good manly smell
They combed their hair with the...

The Days of OldWhen I now look out far over the hills,
Fondly remembering the days of old;
I see snow on the ground, and my mind fills
With the numbness of twenty winters’ cold.
I reflect upon the happiest times;
Sitting in the sun with my closest friends,
But...

In the Days of OldIn those olden days
People was happier you’d say
For times for us were tough
And living life was rough
But we did not need that much
Not the latest thing and such
We would go out and leave the locks off
And gave each other a wave and not a...

Days of Old ReturnedThose olden days those Celtic lands
Now I ponder my ancient kin
Who kept awake while listening
During the stormy nights of rain and winds
Cold wet nights those achy joints brought and bring
And now as then there were books paper and pens
For storms now halt electricity and...

The Days of OldI remember a time when,
Things were simple
When kids were kids and technology,
Had not diseased their young minds.
The future of America looked bright,
Then those traitors on bended knee,
Turned their back on old glory.
Shredding the image that we once,
Held dear in our hearts.
Destroying a nation that...

The Days of OldI never will forget the days of old
when having neighbors meant more to us then.
I think that for technology we’ve sold
the sweetness of the way things were back when.
I used to read the tales of Nancy Drew
but couldn’t buy the books since we were poor,
but...

In Days of OldIn days of old, as nature's dust laid heavy upon the unexplored land...
As life's untameness bearing it's suffering........
Among all those about....
When deep laughter, became lost within...
When life 's survival lay within actions of other's hands...
When life's uncertainities were.......
Unknown mysteries of living times.
When man's decisions weighing...

Days of OldDays Of Old
Morning breeze, the summer skies
Starry nights and county fairs
Birds in trees and on the lines
Coins we’ve tossed and running scared
The child within I cannot find
If love’s not here then I am lost
The wayward winds I’ve left...

In Days of OldThere was a once upon a time
when fairy tales came true;
when animals talked and ogres walked,
and childhood days were endless.
Lovely rainbows had an end
and the fabled pot of gold.
Knights dressed in shining armor
and rode a snow white stallion.
Genies often granted wishes,
as did the fairy queen.
It...

Days of Old 2I think that it's easier to go forward if on occasions one recalls back THEN,
A simpler place and time, an era, a period, a generation of 'remember WHENS'. We start our stories with the likes of, "When I was a boy, or "When ...
