The Gold And Silver Days Lyrics

As I'm sitting in the firelight
And turning back the years
I can hear my mother singing, in the morning
As she scrubbed our shining faces
And then packed us off to school
All too soon those days were over without warning

So sing me the songs
Of our Gold and Silver days
Days filled with innocence and light
Not a penny to our names
We were happy just the same
In our Gold and Silver days

In the parlour on the friday night
My father took the floor
I can hear us join together, in the chorus
Singing "Just a Song at Twilight"
And The Moon behind the Hill"
Now those voices all are silent, gone before us

So sing me the songs of our Gold and Silver days
Days filled with innocence and light Not a penny to our names
We were happy just the same
In our Gold and Silver days

When we gathered at the daisy fields
At sunday after mass
And we danced to Johnny Quigley and the Royal
Through the years we all were scattered
But our friends were good and true
Always there when they were needed, always loyal

So sing me the songs of our Gold and Silver days
Days filled with innocence and light
Not a penny to our names
We were happy just the same
In our Gold and Silver days

Sing me the songs of our Gold and Silver days
Days filled with innocence and light
Not a penny to our names
We were happy just the same
In our Gold and Silver days
