In Your Nostalgic Moments

Have you in your nostalgic moments felt quite close to tears When you thought of your friends of long departed years Some of them deceased and some showing age decay And time ticks along as the wise one does say The memories are with you of the far away Spring When the birds in the park of the old town did sing And wildflowers were blooming after recent rain The past may be gone but old memories of it with you does remain And the girls of your youth in the far away town The breeze tossing their hair as they walked up and down On the sidewalks of the street laughing as they did talk On their way to and from the park on their summer evening walk In the old cemetery in the town far away Some of those you grew up with among the deceased do lay Some are grandparents and some as single parents did remain And like you only the memories of what was do retain And like you some did migrate to big cities elsewhere For to try out their luck in the big World out there And like you reminisce on the what has been The best of old memories remain evergreen For many in memory only the good times do last And in your nostalgic moments do you think of the past To the place where you first looked on the lamp of day In your old first home in the town far away.
