Do you remember the forests of youth

Where we would lie with the sky for a roof

We sang old folk-songs while searching for truth

We only lived in the moment

Green velvet trees seemed to reach to the sky

Birds on the breeze sang a sweet lullaby

Those are the days that will live ‘til I die

Days I’ll remember forever


Cho:  We never talked about pensions those days

 We lived our life in a deep purple haze

 Blinded by the light in a bright crystal maze

 We never talked about pensions those days


We walked through mountains in sweet scented air

Drank from the fountains and free from all care

We were in tune and & immune from despair

Destiny danced on before us

Memories are pathways that always renew

Spring never fades and the sweet morning dew

Clings to the vine of a time we once knew

Days of the wine & the roses


Cho:


Deep in the woods now we lie on the grass

Fate is a journey etched deep in the glass

Ghosts at the gate wait to wave as we pass

They know adventure has ended

We were both young when we sat down to dine

Music was sung and so endless was time

Now time is short and the past is a shrine

Where we drink wine & sing folk-songs


We Never Talked About Pensions Those Days
