Lyrics by Nicola Marcello D'Amico
This song was written in 1971 but the words are more about today than back when we wrote it.
LYRICS:
Where Did The Good Times Go?
Whatever happened isn't happ'nin' any more
There sure were a lot of pretty flowers growin' around here
Green fields, and clean water, and birds flyin' in the air
Where, can you tell me, have they gone?
You know threre's so many people who think it's wrong
But they don't do a thing about it
Where Did The Good Times Go?
Whatever happened to the world we used to know
Blue skies, and butterflies, and everthing was free
I wish we could be happy, the way we used to be
Where are the smiles we used to wear
I can't understand why they're not there
I can only sit and wonder
Where Did The Good Times Go?
(Sax solo - Paul Carman)
Once upon a time, you could breathe the air
But so many people say they just don't care
I wish we could go back to that day
Where did we lose our way?
Where Did The Good Times Go?
