Days Gone By

I can see a picture of a boy, so young
Skimmin’ stones across a tiny stream, one by one

Catch a bu*terfly and let ’em go
Climb a tree so high no one will know
These are the times you’d love to live again

but these are the days gone by
No need to wonder why or how come
They’ll only make you cry


‘Cause these are the days gone by
Forgive and forget

do, do, do, do, do, do
The days gone by

I can see a picture of a girl, so young
Clinging to her rag doll like it were her own, son

She says, “Mama, can I help you make the dress?”
She says, “I’ll do half, you do the rest”

These are the times you’d love to live again
Oh, these are the days gone by


No need to wonder why or how come
They’ll only make you cry


‘Cause these are the days gone by
Forgive and forget

do, do, do, do, do, do
The days gone by

Are we afraid to be free?
Life’s much more than we make it
Beyond what the eye can see

Where do we lose our childlike passions
Fear’s our one and only enemy

These are the days gone by
(These are the days gone by)

No need to wonder why or how come
(There’s no need to wonder why)

They’ll only make you cry
(They always make you cry)
‘Cause these are the days gone by

Forgive and forget

do, do, do, do, do, do
The days gone by
