These Are the Good Old Days Lyrics

And all the sad young men parading through their lives
The girls that they have loved have now become expensive wives
They think they know it all, and in some ways they do
They're reaching out for better times, if they only knew
These are the good old days
This is the best time of my life
The best I've ever known
And it won't ever be the same again

These are the good old days
And when my clothes are out of style
And life is slowing down
I'll know what I have done
While all the sad young men go marching off to war
The old men shake their heads and say 'We've seen it all before'
But how are they to know the lesson takes so long
And by the time you've found the answer life is almost gone

These are the good old days
This is the best time of my life
The best I've ever known
And it won't ever be the same again
These are the good old days
And when my clothes are out of style
And life is slowing down
I'll know what I have done
