The Days of Old

We hold onto the memories of the past
We stroll down lanes of yesterday
Recalling moments of joy, oh why didn’t they last
Do all hearts ache for the days of old


In corners of our minds lie forgotten days
Of laughter, fun, sorrow and even pain
But all viewed through times soft gaze
Do all hearts ache for the days of old


Time passes, seasons always change
But in the fabric of our being
Tales from the past forever remain
Do all hearts ache for the days of old


But in remembering the past, we find
Nostalgia can paint a tender canvas
Where the past and the here and now are intertwined
Do all hearts ache for the days of old.
