We have just begun We should feel a part of us that we're leaving Back home We have just begun On the deed that's done to us All the favours To be grown Waiting in a line Not thinking of the time We must go out and find Whatever did we leave behind? Soon we shall look back On the past experience I'll remember That dream Soon we shall look back One by one we're finding out all the answers About home Waiting on a? That we had Wiping your brow again Clock keeps twenty past ten And we're thinking of time going Wait till tomorrow Think of today Think of the days gone by Bye-bye is too late Cry, cry is heartache Bye-bye, the days gone by In the end we'll see How much of the party we've missed already Please tell me In the end we'll see Hoping for another chance to hold onto Forever Waiting in a line Not thinking of the time You must go out and find Whatever did we leave behind? And we're thinking of time Going by And we're thinking of time Going by

When family cannot be here Havin' journeyed far and wide We sing a song to honor them To remember days gone by So take your cup and raise it high Just as surely I'll do mine And laugh we will at stories told As we smile at days gone by As we smile at days gone by For family not here, my dears Havin' journeyed far and wide For loyalty and kindness both We smile at days gone by Our paths will cross again one day In time to reunite For family is always near Even when the seas are wide So take your cup and raise it high Just as surely I'll do mine And make a toast for family And the tales of days gone by For family not here, my dears Havin' journeyed far and wide For loyalty and kindness both Take joy at days gone by For loyalty and kindness both We smile at days gone by

When I recall just how it felt When I went walking down by the lake My soul was free, my heart awake When I walked down into the town The mountain air was fresh and clear The sun was up behind the hill It felt so good to be alive On that morning in spring I want to sing this song for you I want to lift your spirits high And in my soul I want to feel The beauty of the days gone by The beauty of the days gone by It brings a longing to my soul To contemplate my own true self And keep me young as I grow old 'Cause beauty of the days gone by The music that we used to play So, lift your glass and raise it high Till the beauty of the days gone by I'll sing it from the mountain top Down to the valley down below Because my cup doth overflow With the beauty of the days gone by The mountain glen where we used to roam The gardens there by the railroad track Oh, my memory it does not lie Of the beauty of the days gone by The beauty of the days gone by It brings a longing to my soul To contemplate my own true self And keep me young as I grow old And keep me young as I grow old And keep me young as I grow old And keep me young as I grow old
