Lyrics

1. I remember the days of our your youth and love
   When we sat neath the green oak tree
   When thy smiles were bright as the skies above
   And the voice made music unto me

Chorus:
Never more will come those happy, happy hours
Whiled away in life’s young dawn
Never more we’ll roam through pleasure’s sunny bowers
For our bright, bright summer days are gone

2. I remember the flowers that we cull’d by day
   And the vows that we made by night
   I remember the brook where we love to stray
   In the by gone days of our delight
3. How we joyed when we met, and grieved to part
   How we sighed when the night came on
   How I longed for thee in my dreaming heart
   Till the first fair coming of the dawn
