To the Good Old Days - Dennis De Young, Julian Lennon

It’s so hard to say goodbye

So I promise not to cry

But any tears that might be shed

Are only tears of joy

And I thank my lucky stars

That we’ve come so very far

Rising up against the odds

To where we are today

And though there may be sadness

Let’s all raise a glass

Cheers to us

And all that’s passed

To the good old days

When the world was new

When we still believed

Dreams could come true

To the good old days

And to all our friends

May the memories last

May they never end

So we’ll go our several ways

Wishing somehow we could stay

Safe again, so safe again

In all our innocence

When we all would sing along

As they played our favorite song

Dreaming of tomorrows

That seemed so limitless

So as we come together

Let’s make this moment last

Here’s to us (yeah, here’s to us)

And to the past

To the good old days

To the sweetest years

To the ones we loved

Through the laughs and tears

To the times ahead

May we all forgive

To the good old days

Long may they live

Funny how the years have slipped away

Always there beyond our grasp

Funny how it all seems looking back

Oh, whoa

To the good old days

When we all were young

To the love we shared

May our songs be sung

To the times ahead

May we all forgive

To the good old days

May they always live
