By James Whitcomb Riley

THE OLD TIMES WERE THE BEST

THE OLD TIMES WERE THE BEST

Friends, my heart is half aweary
Of its happiness to-night:
Though your songs are gay and cheery,
And your spirits feather-light,
There`s a ghostly music haunting
Still the heart of every guest
And a voiceless chorus chanting
That the Old Times were the best.


CHORUS

All about is bright and pleasant
With the sound of song and jest,
Yet a feeling`s ever present
That the Old Times were the best.
