Whoa, ah, mercy mercy me Oh things ain’t what they used to be, no no Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east Whoa mercy, mercy me, Oh things ain’t what they used to be, no no Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas, fish full of mercuryAh, oh mercy, mercy me Ah things ain’t what they used to be, no no Radiation under ground and in the sky Animals and birds who live nearby are dyingOh mercy………….
Sometimes I get to feeling I was back in the old days long ago. When we were kids, when we were young Things seemed so perfect. You know?
The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young. The sun was always shining. We just lived for fun.
Sometimes it seems like lately. I just don’t know. The rest of my life’s been just a show.
Those were the days of our lives. The bad things in life were so few. Those days are all gone now, But one thing is true When I look and I find I still love you.
You can’t turn back the clock, You can’t turn back the tide. Ain’t that a shame? I’d like to go back one time on a roller-coaster ride When life was just a game.
No use sitting and thinking on what you did When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids.
Sometimes it seems like lately. I just don’t know Better sit back and go with the flow
‘Cause these are the days of our lives. They’ve flown in the swiftness of time. These days are all gone now, But some things remain When I look and I find no change.
Those were the days of our lives. The bad things in life were so few. Those days are all gone now, But one thing’s still true When I look and I find I still love you.
