Those Were The Days
by Redeemed Quartet

Album: Those Were the Days

As a kid, I roamed the hills and valleys
As a child I roamed the hills and valleys

Played under the big oak trees
Played beneath the mighty oak trees

The countryside was my little playground
The countryside was my little playground

These are my cherished memories
These are my fond memories

Then in the evening when work was done
Then at evening when work was completed

The family would gather 'round to pray
The family would gather round to pray

Dad read the Bible after dinner
Dad read the Bible after dinner

We learned to trust and obey
We learned to trust and obey


And we thank the Lord
And we thank the Lord

For what our parents taught us
For what our parents taught us

Showing right and wrong
Showing right and wrong

In so many ways
In many ways

And though we're older
And though we're older

We haven't forgotten
We have not forgotten

I think we all agree
I think we all agree

Those were the days
Those were the days


As a young one, I found the joy
As a youngster I found the enjoyment

Of working hard with heart and hand
Of working hard with heart and hand

By the sweat of my brow
By the sweat of my brow

I learned the lessons
I learned the lessons

This modern age just won't understand
This modern age won't understand


There are kids today without fathers
There are children today with no fathers

People search for love that won't last
People look for love that won't last

They don't know what a friend we have in Jesus
They don't know what a friend we have in Jesus

Faith feels like a thing of the past
Faith is a thing of the past


And we wonder what this generation's brought us
And we wonder what this generation's brought us

Twisting right and wrong in so many ways
Twisting right and wrong in many ways

The lessons of the past have been forgotten
The lessons of the past have been forgotten

I think we all agree those were the days
I think we all agree those were the days


And we thank the Lord
And we thank the Lord

For what our parents taught us showing right and wrong in so many ways
For what our parents taught us showing right and wrong in many ways

And though we're older
And though we're older

We haven't forgotten
We have not forgotten

I think we all agree
I think we all agree

Those were the days
Those were the days


I think we all agree
I think we all agree

Those were the days
Those were the days
