Ah Me, Ah My - Strawbs

I’d like to live on a farm again like I did for part of the war

I’ve got a few happy memories though we were rather poor

But I can’t go back, these days have gone

I’m only reminiscing

Ah me, things aren’t what they used to be

Ah my, in days gone by

Just take a look at these photographs I took of baby and you

They’re rather brown but you still can see the love come shining through

But a photograph’s no substitute

I’d rather have the real thing

Ah me, things aren’t what they used to be

Ah my, in days gone by

I’ve got a pile of old clothes upstairs that have come in style again

I know they suited me but nowadays it doesn’t seem the same

'Cause I can’t go back those days have gone

I’m only reminiscing

Ah me, things aren’t what they used to be

Ah my, in days gone by
