Bad Old Days

The gentle sound of your breathing, the murmur of the night The sounds that really belong in music and someday I just might Meantime I just lie here smiling wide wake at dawn And I wonder where my bad old days have gone Oh, I wonder where my bad old days have gone When I was lost with nothing to count on Now I lie here smiling all night long And I wonder where my bad old days have gone The danger's in the telling I'm tempted to be bright When the truth is they were bad old days and didn't have to turn out right I love you more than morning and part of the reason why Is you helped me kiss those bad old days goodbye Oh, I wonder where my bad old days have gone When I was lost with nothing to count on Now I lie here smiling all night long And I wonder where my bad old days have gone You're quiet in the morning, you like to wake up slow You need your coffee before you talk, I remember you tellin' me so Was it sixteen years ago or was it yesterday That you came and chased my bad old days away? Now I wonder where my bad old days have gone When I was lost with nothing to count on Now I lie here smiling all night long And I wonder where my bad old days have gone Now I lie here smiling all night long And I wonder where my bad old days have gone --- Bad Old Days - Tom Paxton
