Gold & Silver Days

As I'm sitting here in the firelight

And turning back the years

I can hear my mother singing in the morning

As she scrubbed our shining faces

And then packed us off to school

All too soon those days were over without warning

Sing me the songs of our gold and silver days

Days filled with innocence and light

Not a penny to our name

We were happy just the same

In our gold and silver days

In the parlor on a Friday night

My father took the floor

I can hear us join together in the chorus

Singing "Just a Song at Twilight"

Or "The Moon Behind the Hill"

Now those voices are all silenced, gone before us

Sing me the songs of our gold and silver days

Days filled with innocence and light

Not a penny to our name

We were happy just the same

In our gold and silver days

And we gathered at the Daisy Field

On Sunday after mass

I can hear the songs, the story's and the laughter

Through the years we all were scattered

But the friends we made back then

Were the friends we could rely on ever after

So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days

Days filled with innocence and light

Not a penny to our name

We were happy just the same

In those gold and silver days
