Often in my memory I wander

The evergreen of days gone by

Like a book of poetry

Each page a story of me 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 linger

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

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
