pages here on the net about "The good old days",
When things were better, and how a lot
of things have changed for the worse.
I'm not sure if I agree with that point of view.
I believe we should keep our childhood memories
close to our heart, but perhaps for completely
different reasons - - those being:
to understand the young people of today
and to stay young at heart ourselves.
What was wonderful about being a child was the way
the world looked to us. Shiny, shimmering, golden,
dazzeling and dreamlike - especially when looking back.
I once read a story about a little mole who couldn't
see in the daylight, and when he stuck his little head
outside his molehill, he thought he was living in a land
of diamonds, when in fact he was living in a junkyard.
It really all depends on which eyes you use
to see the world with.
Maybe we miss our childhood
eyes,and long for them
when the world starts looking
too much like a junkyard.
I wrote a lyric to a lovely melody by the Danish composer
Jorgen Emborg, called Remember?
Maybe someone out there will find their childhood eyes
by reading it.
Remember - How sunny days were endless
Stones were always diamonds
And your name was on the wind.
Remember - When your days were filled with magic
And each and every moment
Was the best that's ever been
Imagine - where anything can happen
Where the limit is the sky
Somehow knowing- if you spread your wings
you could fly
Remember? - No don't forget,- remember
The day that we grow old
We've left it all behind
Remember - the stars outside your window
Wondering what's out there
so far beyond the moon
Remember - a day would last forever
A seashell was a treasure
from a land of make believe.
Tomorrow - always longing for tomorrow
When your dreams would all come true
And believing every miracle -
was for you...
Remember? - no don't forget - remember
The day that we grow old
we've left it all behind
The day that we grow old...
We've left it all behind.
