Verse 1 
There were heated words filled with tears
Now silence stretches through the years.
We got settled in our ways.
At least that’s what we say.
We try to forget but memories stir.
Who’s to blame when yesterday’s a blur.

Yesterday's a blur.

​

Verse 2 
Too long to let anger burn.
The ashes of bitterness were hard earned.
I think I lost a piece of self
When I hid you carefully on the shelf.
Did you do the same with me?
Did you do the same with me?

​

Chorus

Memories of days gone by are kept inside my heart.

Feelings fresh when I think about how it fell apart.

Still a smile or two when I remember you.

Days gone by never leave my mind.

Days gone by never leave my mind.

​

Verse 3
A marriage, kids, and a dog or two.
Some things you just never knew
In time we both grew old.
Then sickness took its toll.
We met, forgave, and tears were shed.
After all these years, we put the past to bed.
We put the past to bed.

​

Chorus
Memories of days gone by are kept inside my heart.
Feelings fresh when I think about how it fell apart.
Still a smile or two when I remember you.
Days gone by never leave my mind.
Days gone by never leave my mind.

​

Verse 4
Words spoken years ago
Kept apart two stubborn hearts.
Regrets set a path
Where hurt turned to wrath.
Take time to love and care each day.
Life's too precious to throw away.   
Don’t throw love away.
Don’t throw love away.

​

Chorus
Memories of days gone by are kept inside my heart.
Feelings fresh when I think about how it fell apart.
Still a smile or two when I remember you.
Days gone by never leave my mind.

 

Outro
Days gone by never leave my mind.
