TIMES GONE BY - Rod McKuen Remember how we spent the nighttime counting out the stars. Too late for the beach, too early for the bars. All of us together would raise our glasses high And drink a toast to times gone by. The times, oh we had some times When the world was the color of neon signs. Each of us and all of us killed our dreams with rye And tried to crowd a lifetime into times gone by. Remember how the Sunday morning bells were always ringing And out along the waterfront we'd hear the big men singing. In some long-forgotten time, some August or july, Even then weld talk about the times gone by. The times, oh we had some times When love cost only nickels and dimes. Always when our secret needs were hard to satisfy We'd talk of going back again to times gone by. Remember how we talked and laughed and cried into the dawning And the terrible taste of kisses in the morning. Crowed rooms and lonesome tunes and very little sky. Even then the better times were times gone by. The times, you know we had some times With gentle women and vintage wines. But that was when we didn't know our youth was passing by. Now all we have to think about are times gone by.
