Often in my memory I wander The evergreen of days gone by Like a book of poetry Each page a story of my life
Trustin' in my visions of glory I felt myself growing strong Much too young yet to understand Too proud to say I was wrong
Love was such a mystery When it first came along If I'd known what I know now I would still be holding on
Time makes a fool of a memory And yet my memories still shine Though yesterday may never come again I sing of days gone by
Funny how the images still liger Though seasons faded into years But once it seemed the world was mine And mine the laughter and tears
Kept one eye upon a star Searched my heart for the truth Now I know I've come this far Riding the dreams of my youth
Time makes a fool of a memory And yet my memories still shine Though yesterday may never come again I sing of days gone by
I can't say the past was really better But I was never more alive If I could do it all again I'd do it just the same If I could do it all again I wouldn't change days gone by
Time makes a fool of a memory And yet my memories still shine Though yesterday may never come again I sing of days gone by
