Lyrics

Just one time, just one more time
I'd sure love to see those old friends of mine
I'd sure love to be with them just one more time
Talkin' 'bout days gone by

I don't know but I've been told
Those days we were walking, they were solid gold
And, Lord, we could carry such a heavy load
Walkin' in days gone by

I don't know if people hurt me
But I sure heard some people cry
I don't know if we were worthy
But we sure took some people high

Just one thing, just one more thing
I'd sure love to hear those old guitars ring
I'd sure want to be amongst the ones who sing
Talkin' bout days gone by

Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by

I don't know about tomorrow
I don't even know about today
But I do know that tomorrow
If they asked me they would hear me say

Just one time, just one more time
I'd sure love to see those old friends of mine
I'd sure love to be with them just one more time
Talkin' 'bout days gone by

Talkin' 'bout days gone by
Talkin' 'bout days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
