The Good Old Days
Gugun Power Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though we've felt the ups and downs
Wouldn't want it any other way
Time it runs so fast, feels like yesterday
And we'll look back in five years time
These are good… the good old days
Five years down the line now we're middle aged
Watching our children, how they grow so fast
Together we are stronger now
Together we are solid as a rock
These are the good old days… right now
Give thanks for what you have
Never dwell, never dwell on your problems now
Just leave it to God
Even though, even though time moves on so fast
The good old days
