Those Were the Days

I miss those years We played outside And everyone heard, And came when you cried When we rode bikes And played school When no one cared Whose clothes were cool Everyone was friends We hung out each day Out in the yard Was where we played When we had to beat The street lights in And we spent all day With Barbie and Ken When we had "powers" And wrote our own plays I must admit it, Those were the days We had no worries We were care-free We were so content Things were so easy Now we grow older And are in our teens Things are so different They no longer seem So innocent or even As simple as things were Not as happy as when We were boys and girls Now those days are gone They left in a blaze We'll always remember Those were the days! 4-8-2008
