  • TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS
    It's so hard to say goodbye
    So I promise not to cry
    But any tears that might be shed
    are only tears of joy
    And I thank my lucky stars
    That we've come so very far
    Rising up against the odds
    To where we are today
    And though there may be sadness
    Let's all raise a glass
    Cheers to us and all that's passed
    To the good old days
    When the world was new
    When we still believed
    Dreams could come true
    To the good old days
    And to all our friends
    May the memories last
    May they never end
    So we'll go our several ways
    Wishing somehow we could stay
    Safe again so safe again in all our
    i nnocence
    When we all would sing along
    As they played our favorite song
    Dreaming of tomorrow's
    that seemed so limitless
    So as we come together
    let's make this moment last
    Here's to us and to the past
    To the good old days
    To the sweetest years
    To the ones we loved
    Through the laughs and tears
    To the times ahead
    May we all forgive
    To the good old days
    Long may they live
    Funny how the years have slipped away
    Always there beyond our grasp.
    Funny how it all seems looking back
    Oh oh oh
    To the good old days
    When we all were young
    To the love we shared
    May our songs be sung
    To the times ahead
    May we all forgive
    To the good old days
    May they always live Writer/s: DENNIS DEYOUNG, JULIAN LENNON
