Years and Fortunes (1971) Lyrics by Dear Mr Time

Grandfather (1971)

1971

[Verse 1]
Look behind and look before you
See the future and the past
Waking in another morning
See how the day will last
[Verse 2]
Looking back on years and fortunes
Times at home and times away
Happy songs and somber war tunes
Many friends and summer
[Chorus 1]
Days gone by
Through the sky
Far away
Yesterday
Yesterday
[Verse 3]
There is greying eyes conveying
You are getting older, how?
Wife is [?] from getting lumber
And you still love her
[Chorus 2]
Candle cake
But they bake
Years in place
I sing names
I sing names
[Verse 4]
All you do is count the day dreams
That are a mystery
Never cease your [?] grieving
To find eternity
[Verse 5]
Better than when you were younger
Sunny days and longer nights
Better too the nights were warmer
No rocket bombs no
[Chorus 3]
Flights to the Moon
Relay soon
Pictures of Mars
In the stars
In the stars
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Look behind and look before you
See the future and the past
Waking in another morning
See how the day will last
[Verse 2]
Looking back on years and fortunes
Times at home and times away
Happy songs and somber war tunes
Many friends and summer
[Chorus 1]
Days gone by
Through the sky
Far away
Yesterday
Yesterday
[Outro instrumental]
