[Verse 1]
When I recall just how it felt
When we went walkin' down by the lake
My soul was free, my heart awake
When I walked down into the town

[Verse 2]
The mountain air was fresh and clear
The sun was up behind the hill
It felt so good to be alive
On that morning in spring

[Verse 3]
I want to sing this song for you
I want to lift your, your spirits high
And in my soul I want to feel
The beauty of the days gone by

[Verse 4]
The beauty of the days gone by
It brings a longing to my soul
To contemplate my own true self
And keep me young as I grow old

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
I'll sing it from the mountain top
Down to the valley down below
Because my cup doth, doth overflow
With thе beauty of the days gone by

[Verse 6]
Mountain glеn where we used to roam
The garden there by the railway track
My memory it does not lie
With the beauty of the days gone by

[Verse 4]
The beauty of the days gone by
It brings a longing to my soul
To contemplate my own true self
And keep me young as I grow old

[Outro]
And keep me young as I grow old
And keep me young as I grow old
