Albert Hammond - Good Old Days lyrics

And all the sad young men parading through their lives<br />

The girls that they have loved have now become expensive wives.<br />

They think they know it all and in someways they do<br />

They're reaching out for better times if they only knew.<br />

<br />

These are the good old days this is the best time of my life.<br />

The best I've ever known and it won't ever be the same again.<br />

These are the good old days and when my clothes are out of sty<br />

And life is slowing down I'll know what I have done.<br />

<br />

While all the sad young men go marching off to war<br />

The old men shake their heads and say we've seen it all before.<br />

But how are they to know the lesson takes so long<br />

And by the time you've found the answer life is almost gone.<br />

These are the good old days this is the best time of my life . . .
