Lyrics
- Let’s take a look in mem’ry’s book
Back to the days of yore
Back to the school, old swimmin’ pool
We’ll just be kids once more
Let’s wander back where we used to sit and dream
Down by the old mill stream
Chorus
Where are the days of long ago?
Those days are over, those days are over, all over
Where is the barefoot bashful beau?
The one who wrote “I love you so” Oh!
Sweet childhood days so dear to you and me
Sweet wildwood ways are just a memory
Gee! but it makes me sad some how
Those days are over, over now
- Let’s climb the hill down by the mill
Pile on the old bob sled
Coasting we’ll go, roll in the snow
Until our cheeks grow red
Oh for the days of the olden golden past
They were too good to last
Sung here by Fred Feild:
