Jon Gibson - The Days Gone By lyrics

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 Mmm, but these are the days gone by, baby No need to wonder why or how come They'll only make you cry, baby '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, baby No need to wonder why or how come They'll only make you cry, baby '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 pa**ions Fear's our one and only enemy These are the days gone by, baby (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, baby (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
