¶Lyrics / Text

Oh, give me back the golden days, The days when I was young– The happy thoughts, the guileless heart, The songs my mother sung. And give me back the hopes, the dreams Youth only can bestow, The loving smiles, the tender looks, And friends of long ago. This flower I love, though withered all, Some fragrance yet retains; In each poor leaf a glory tint Of beauty still remains. So like this flower our dreams may die, And all we love depart, And yet the sweetness that hath been Will never leave the heart.
