Old days

Old days

Good times I remember
Fun days
Filled with simple pleasure

Drive-in movies
Comic books and blue jeans
Howdy Doody
Baseball cards and birthdays

Take me back
To the world gone away
Memories
Seem like yesterday

Oh, old days
Good times I remember
Gold days
Days I'll always treasure

Funny faces
Full of love and laughter
Funny places
Summer nights and streetcars

Take me back
To the world gone away
Our good memories
Seem like yesterday
Old days

...........Chicago, 1975

Old Days song

some of the comments:

1.We didn't know how good the old days were until they were gone forever. That's why this song appeals to me so much. Not just the beat and fabulous musicians but the message. This song and Hot Fun in The Summertime remind me of those days. I was a teen in the 60s and those days were priceless.


2.I think the Title of this song says it all ...little did I think back then (1975) that those songs would be so appreciated years later.In a world where music is No More.

4.I grew in the 50s and 60s .Old days is the perfect song for that time period.


5.Beautiful nostalgic song and a very nice one to hear now I am 70 years old. Many of the places I knew when Young have changed beyond recognition and exist as they were in my imagination only.  Whenever I tell my Grandsons or Grandaughters about how parks, streets etc were when I was Young they look at me quizzically wondering what I am talking about.


6.It's funny this song is in reference to their childhood in the 1950's and well, to me......the song itself brings back memories of the 1970's for me when it was on the charts when I was a child, and yeah.....for simpler times that (the 1970's) are now indeed becoming the "old days"

7.It's kinda ironic when you think of it: the writer of this song probably wrote it back in the 1970s as a tribute to the fond memories of growing up in the 1950s and how much better things were back then, now roughly 40 years later we listen to it and reminisce and remind ourselves how much better things were in 1975 than they are now. It's funny how "progress" works. 

8.The first time I heard this song, way back when, I knew there would come a time that it would make me cry. 40 years later...I miss my aunts and uncles, and my dad


9.---We didn't know it but we were really living through a taste of heaven on earth in the 70's.
