Barry White Early Years Lyrics

[Intro]
As I look back on the days that's gone by
I can't help but to think:
"What would I have done different than I did at that time?"
And you know what conclusion I come to is
The conclusion I come to is: I would've done it just like I did it
There was days of joy and happiness and sadness and madness
The normal, the normal way of life
And as I, as I sit here reminiscing through my years, I
Can't help but to feel a little sad inside
Because those days are gone, forever and ever

[Verse 1]
Yesterday we were so out of frame
But now we need some time to slip away
As we drift in our memories of all the joys and tears Tasting vintage wine, our early years

[Verse 2]
We sip and watch our lives go passing by
And remember things, we didn't wonder why
Looking through the misty cloud at days we had no fear
But that was long ago in early years

[Verse 3]
Time has gone by
Time from our lives
Those early years of time, gone by
Those early years, gone from our lives

[Verse 4]
To appreciate your life, one has to know
Know the things it takes to keep ya [?]
Keep your mind refreshed with thoughts of things we hold so near
Treasures from our lives in early years
