Hooper I'd like to live on a farm again like I did for part of the war I've got a few happy memories though we were rather poor But I can't go back, these days have gone, I'm only reminiscing Ah me, things aren't what they used to be Ah my, in days gone by. Just take a look at these photographs I took of baby and you They're rather brown but you still can see the love come shining through But a photograph's no substitute, I'd rather have the real thing Ah me, things aren't what they used to be Ah my, in days gone by. I've got a pile of old clothes upstairs that have come in style again I know they suited me but nowadays it doesn't seem the same 'Cause I can't go back, those days have gone, I'm only reminiscing Ah me, things aren't what they used to be Ah my, in days gone by.
