I'd like to live on a farm again like I did for part of 
the war 
I've got a few happy memories though we were rather poor 
But I can't go back, these days have gone 
I'm only reminiscing 
Ah me, things aren't what they used to be 
Ah my, in days gone by. 

Just take a look at these photographs I took of baby and 
you 
They're rather brown but you still can see the love come 
shining through 
But a photograph's no substitute 
I'd rather have the real thing 
Ah me, things aren't what they used to be 
Ah my, in days gone by. 

I've got a pile of old clothes upstairs that have come in 
style again 
I know they suited me but nowadays it doesn't seem the 
same 
'Cause I can't go back those days have gone 
I'm only reminiscing 
Ah me, things aren't what they used to be 
Ah my, in days gone by.
