The Beauty of the Days Gone By - Van Morrison
Written by:Van Morrison
When I recall
Just how
It felt
When I went walkin'
Down by the lake
My soul was free
My heart awake
When I walked down into the town
The mountain air
Was fresh and clear
The sun was up
Behind the hill
It felt so good
To be alive
On that morning
In spring
I want to sing
This song
For you
I want to lift
Your spirits high
And in my soul
I want to feel
The beauty of the days
Gone by
The beauty of the days
Gone by
It brings a longin'
To my soul
To contemplate
My own true self
And keep me young
As I grow old
The beauty of the days gone by
The music that
We used to play
So lift your glass
And raise it high
To the beauty of
The days gone by
I'll sing it from the mountain top
Down to the valley down below
Because my cup
Doth overflow
With the beauty of
The days gone by
The mountain glen
Where we used to roam
The gardens there
By the railroad track
Oh my memory
It does not lie
Of the beauty of
The days gone by
The beauty of the days gone by
It brings a longin'
To my soul
To contemplate
My own true self
And keep me young
As I grow old
And keep me young
As I grow old
And keep me young
As I grow old
And keep me young
As I grow old
