Lyrics:
Where are the days
Those care-free days
When the World was sane
And my spirit ablaze
Where has decency
And sanity gone
Were they even here
All along
Where is the gentle
Way of life
That marked the days
So free of strife
Where are kindness
And compassion
Both just seem to be
Plain old fashioned
How I yearn/long for the time
When neighbor meant more
Than just another person
Who lives next door
How sad are the times
When man knows not man
I wonder if we ever did
Or if we ever can
Friends are the lifeline
In this World upside down
For in their love
No one can frown
You are my friend
So sweet and so dear
Even if we are apart
And not so near
Thank you for sharing
Your song with me
For in your friendship
I am now free
