Take Me Back Through The Years

Liner Notes

Boy, this last year in particular I find myself more and more spending time being..."nostalgic". Old relationships, friends who've passed on, how my body used to not have all of these aches and pains... So here you have some of those thoughts in a song.

I hope you enjoy it!

TAKE ME BACK THROUGH THE YEARS

Oh, TAKE ME BACK
THROUGH THE YEARS gone by,
To the days when the world
was young and spry.
Where the fields were green
and the skies so wide,
In the arms of our youth,
where our dreams would reside.

CHORUS:
Take me back, oh take me back,
To the days of old,
down that memory track.
Where laughter rang
through the open air,
And the days were long
and without a care.

I remember well,
the creek where we played,
With homemade boats,
in the shade we stayed.
Skipping stones
and fishing lines,
In those golden hours
of the sun's last shine.

CHORUS:
Take me back, oh take me back,
To the days of old,
down that memory track.
Where laughter rang
through the open air,
And the days were long
and without a care.

To the table where
family gathered round,
With stories and laughter,
love was found.
Under starlit skies,
we would all convene,
In those tender nights,
ever so serene.

So, TAKE ME BACK
THROUGH THE YEARS, my friend,
To the times where we thought
they would never end.
Though we can't return
to those days gone by,
In our hearts those years
will never die.

CHORUS:
Take me back, oh take me back,
To the days of old,
down that memory track.
Where laughter rang
through the open air,
And the days were long
and without a care.
