Memories dancing in the shadow of the moon
They race up the street and into my room
They ask for forgiveness for leaving too soon
While I sit here in my chair
There’s just enough light to spare
As I look for the days of old
The ones that live in my soul
Don’t recognize this place I’m in
Everyone eye to eye with their phone
They talk without ever looking up
Your in a crowd but still all alone
I sit back in my chair and see
The way things used to be
Back when we were young and bold
Makes me hunger for the days of old
Drop a coin in the juke box
And spin those 45’s
Grab your girlfriends and your wives
We’re gonna dance until the morning arrives
Bring me back to the days of old
Take me back just one more time
Back to the winters heat and summers cold
Take me back to the days of my prime
Back to the days of old
Back to the days of old
Closing my eyes
I’m back to the days of old
Memories dancing in the shadow of the moon
They race up the street and into my room
They ask for forgiveness for leaving too soon
It wasn’t the price of eggs
It wasn’t the price of gas
It was the way we woke in the morning
To the smell of fresh cut grass
It was the way we looked out for each other
The way we helped each other get by
The way we walked together
And the way we talked eye to eye
Drop a coin in the juke box
And spin those 45’s
Grab your girlfriends and your wives
We’re gonna dance until the morning arrives
Bring me back to the days of old
Take me back just one more time
Back to the winters heat and summers cold
Take me back to the days of my prime
Back to the days of old
Back to the days of old
Closing my eyes
I’m back to the days of old
