The Gold And Silver Days
Nostalgic Melodies: Embracing the Golden Moments of Life
Lyrics
As I'm sitting in the firelight
Reflecting on memories while sitting in the firelight.
And turning back the years
Looking back on the past years.
I can hear my mother singing, in the morning
Recalling the mother's morning singing while getting ready for school.
As she scrubbed our shining faces
Remembering the mother's care, scrubbing faces before school.
And then packed us off to school
Being sent off to school after the morning routine.
All too soon those days
Realizing that those days ended unexpectedly and quickly.
Were over without warning
Expressing the sudden end of childhood days without warning.
So sing me the songs
Requesting to sing songs that represent the Gold and Silver days.
Of our Gold and Silver days
Describing the days of innocence and light.
Days filled with innocence and light
Highlighting the simplicity of life with no wealth.
Not a penny to our names
Emphasizing happiness despite the lack of material possessions.
We were happy just the same
Nostalgically recalling the joy of the Gold and Silver days.
In our Gold and Silver days
In the parlour on the friday night
Remembering family gatherings on Friday nights.
My father took the floor
Father taking the floor during gatherings.
I can hear us join together, in the chorus
Joining together in chorus, singing familiar songs.
Singing "Just a Song at Twilight"
Singing specific songs like "Just a Song at Twilight."
And The Moon behind the Hill"
Referencing another song, "The Moon behind the Hill."
Now those voices all are silent
Noting the silence of those voices now gone.
Gone before us
Acknowledging the departure of loved ones.
So sing me the songs of
Reiterating the request to sing songs representing the past.
Our Gold and Silver days
Recalling the innocence and light of the Gold and Silver days.
Days filled with innocence and light
Reiterating the simplicity of life during that time.
Not a penny to our names
Emphasizing happiness despite the lack of material possessions.
We were happy just the same
Nostalgically recalling the joy of the Gold and Silver days.
In our Gold and Silver days
When we gathered at the daisy fields
Remembering gatherings in fields after Sunday mass.
At sunday after mass
Recalling the joy of dancing to specific music.
And we danced to Johnny Quigley and the Royal
Mentioning the scattering of friends over the years.
Through the years we all were scattered
Despite the distances, highlighting the loyalty of friends.
But our friends were good and true
Being there for each other when needed.
Always there when they were needed
Emphasizing the enduring loyalty of good friends.
Always loyal
So sing me the songs of
Repeating the request to sing songs of the past.
Our Gold and Silver days
Recalling the innocence and light of the Gold and Silver days.
Days filled with innocence and light
Reiterating the simplicity of life during that time.
Not a penny to our names
Emphasizing happiness despite the lack of material possessions.
We were happy just the same
Nostalgically recalling the joy of the Gold and Silver days.
In our Gold and Silver days
Sing me the songs of our Gold and Silver days
Repeating the request to sing songs of the past.
Days filled with innocence and light
Recalling the innocence and light of the Gold and Silver days.
Not a penny to our names
Reiterating the simplicity of life during that time.
We were happy just the same
Emphasizing happiness despite the lack of material possessions.
In our Gold and Silver days
Nostalgically recalling the joy of the Gold and Silver days.
