Them Days

Those sunny afternoons gone so fast

We'd laugh until our cheeks would blast

Running wild fields were our stage

Every moment turned a page

Old bike tires rolling down the lane

Chasing dreams untouched by rain

Every dawn a brand new start

Those days etched deep within my heart

Oh them days we would never trade

Memories in the light that fade

Footprints left in time's soft clay

In our hearts they'd always stay

Nights we'd count the countless stars

Wishing on the days afar

Dancing shadows by the fire

Hopes as high as church spire

Secret forts in the backyard trees

Whispers carried by the breeze

Grains of sand in our small hands

Dreams like castles built on land

Oh them days we would never trade

Memories in the light that fade

Footprints left in time's soft clay

In our hearts they'd always stay
