Lyrics, as provided by Bill Griese:
Reflecting on the years gone by
I can’t help but wonder
If circumstances hadn’t changed
And pulled us both asunder
Where would we sit this moment
What would tomorrow hold
And would we be the better
For the things we were not told
Gone are the days
When the sun was shining
Gone are the days
When the nights were warm
Gone are the days
With the silver lining
Gone are the days
Before the storm
Gone are the days
When forces come together
How they often seem to change
When lovers lose their luster
How the dreams can lose their range
I’ve never been quite certain
As to when our moment passed
But just as sure as sunrise
It was never meant to last
Gone are the days
With the burning passion
Gone are the days
With the bursting hearts
Gone are the days
Like a faded fashion
Gone are the days
Like a long last art
Gone are the days
But here on my own
It’s clear that I’ve grown
And with all we had
So too went the bad…
Gone are the days
Of the tears and fighting
Gone are the days
Of the me versus you
Gone are the days
Of the thunder and lighting
Gone are the days
And I’m seeing anew
Gone are the days
Gone are the days
Gone are the days
