And all
the sad young men parading through
their lives
The girls that they have loved
Have now become expensive wives
They think they know it all and in
someways they do
They're reaching out for better
times, if they only knew
These are the good old days
This is the best time of my life
The best I've ever known
And it won't ever be the same
again
These are the good old days
And when my clothes are out of
style
And life is slowing down
I'll know what I have done
While all the sad young men go
marching off to war
The old men shake their heads
And say we've seen it all before
But how are they to know, the
lesson takes so long
And by the time you've found the
answer, life is almost gone
These are the good old days
This is the best time of my life
The best I've ever known
And it won't ever be the same
again
These are the good old days
And when my clothes are out of
style
And life is slowing down
I'll know what I have done
