"Good Old Times" lyrics - THE OKEE DOKEE BROTHERS

We used to sit around the fire
Tellin' tales about the days of old
We'd reminisce about the times we missed
I reminisce about the stories we told
And as the fire got to dying down
And the night would start to turn back to day
We'd laugh once more for fun
And then someone would say

[Chorus:]
Yessir, Yessir, those days were fine
Yessir, Yessir, but these are the good old times

When we're old and our memories are grey
If we have any left at all
In the spring, we'll watch leaves being born
And then we'll watch them change in the fall
We'll wish that we were young again
Tell that story about your wedding day
Life is short, but we've had each other
And then one of us will say...

[Chorus:]
Yessir, Yessir, those days were fine
Yessir, Yessir, but these are the good old times

If there was a time to sing this old tune
I figured that would be now
'Cuz today will be yesterday tomorrow
Ain't it crazy how time works out
There ain't nothin' like a good old friend
And there ain't many friends like you and me
We've got a lot of great stories
But I think we can all agree...

[Chorus:]
Yessir, Yessir, those days were fine
Yessir, Yessir, but these are the good old times
