THOSE WERE THE DAYS Take me back to the days of my youth, When I was a slip of a girl. Let me see again the days When my life was in a whirl. I long to hear the laughter And sing the songs we knew. I remember long clear days When nothing clouded our view. I remember the flowers you sent me I remember the look in your eyes. I see again before me Open, clear blue skies. Let me splash my feet in the water And wriggle my toes in the sand, Let me feel again the tenderness As you reach out for my hand. Take me back to the days of my youth Let memory be my friend For it is in my memory These days will never end. © Linda J. Vaughan August 2006 The Pages of Avalon
