Chicago - Old Days
https://youtu.be/XoXsyMP8v3s" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/XoXsyMP8v3s
Trivia: Peter Cetera told James Pankow (trombone/arranger and writer of
the song). "I'm not singing this sh*t, man! Howdy Doody?? Baseball
cards? These are the corniest f**king lyrics ever!" (liner notes in
"Group Portrait")
"Old days
Good times I remember
Fun days
Filled with simple pleasure
Drive-in movies
Comic books and blue jeans
Howdy Doody
Baseball cards and birthdays
Take me back
To the world gone away
Memories
Seem like yesterday
Oh, old days
Good times I remember
Gold days
Days I'll always treasure
Funny faces
Full of love and laughter
Funny places
Summer nights and streetcars
Take me back
To the world gone away
Our good memories
Seem like yesterday
Old days (on my mind and in my heart to stay)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (darkened dreams of good times gone away)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (days of love and feeling fancy free)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (days of magic still so close to me)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (on my mind and in my heart to stay)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (darkened dreams of good times gone away)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (days of love and feeling fancy free)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (days of magic still so close to me)
Ah, ah, ah"

"Old Days" isn't even the best nostalgic CHICAGO song! Here's one of my favorites, that was based on a true story, then became prophetic and more fitting after Terry Kath's death.... It's annoying to read how this song was released AFTER his death, with some (with decent viewership) saying it's a song Danny wrote (he did) for Terry (wrong)
Nice vocal by Robert Lamm, background vocals from Peter Cetera, and some lead Terry Kath, and then some Chaka Khan!
Take me back to Chicago And lay my soul to rest Where my life was free and easy Remember me at my best Take me back to Chicago Where my music was all I had I tried to be good as I could And sometimes that made me sad Take me back to Chicago, to Chicago Take me back Take me back Take me back To Chicago I still dream of the lake of peacefulness The warm summer breeze 'Cause my life was so much simpler then Street corners and tastee freeze Take me back to Chicago 'Cause hustlin's not my style LA was just a bit too hard I wish I could be a child Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago Take me back Take me back Take me back To Chicago, to Chicago (yeah, yeah, yeah) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me, I wanna go) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back, take me) Take me back (take me back)

I recall a schoolboy coming home through fields of cane to a house of tin and timber and in the sky a rain of falling cinders from time to time the waste memory-wastes I recall a boy in bigger pants like everyone just waiting for a chance his father's watch he left it in the showers from time to time the waste memory-wastes I recall a bigger brighter world a world of books and silent times in thought and then the railroad the railroad takes him home through fields of cattle through fields of cane from time to time the waste memory-wastes the waste memory-wastes further, longer, higher, older

Seasons in the sun - Terry Jacks often misunderstood is it about nostalgia or nightmares, but one very important song indeed.
In the Old School Yard by Cat Stevens, and Sitting, by same artist, my two favourite songs of hes are both nostalgic

Frankly, I'm amazed Red Barchetta hasn't been mentioned in the first 3 posts!
