Lyrics

The years pass by and I still pine
For the way life used to be
For the way I spent my summers
When I was young and felt so free

I guess time takes its toll
Though I never thought it could
I guess I’ve lost that little spark
From the days of my boyhood

Take me back to the fields and streams
To the friends that I once knew
Take me back to the land of my dreams
Before they faded out of view

Now my days are drawing nearer
And my nights are getting long
My dreams have slowly faded
Like a melancholy song

The years pass by and I still pine
For the way life used to be
For the way I spent my summers
When I was young and felt so free

Take me back to the fields and streams
To the friends that I once knew
Take me back to the land of my dreams
Before they faded out of view

Never thought much when I was younger
’Bout growing old and going grey
I had hopes and plans and dreams to fill
Couldn’t let growing old get in the way

Take me back to the fields and streams
To the friends that I once knew
Take me back to the land of my dreams
Before they faded out of view
Yeah, take me back to the fields and streams
To the friends that I once knew
Take me back to the land of my dreams
Before they faded out of view
Take me back to the land of my dreams
Before they faded out of view
