Days Of My Youth
Composer(s): Kuiokalani Lee
Performer(s): Don Ho
and multiple other artists



Used to fly like the birds on the wings of the wind
I have played in the sun with a joy deep within
I had laughter as a toy and a sweet for my tooth
In the beautiful days of my youth

Ev'ry one that I met was a friend, not a foe
The fears I have learned way back then I didn't know
Not one deed meant unkind, not one thought uncouth
In the beautiful days of my youth

The time quickly passed, the years traveled on
The hopes and the dreams have diminished and gone
Now the child that I face, how familiar he seems
He's wearing my eyes and living my dreams

Ah, my innocent child
I'll spare the untruths
Of the magical days, the bright shining days
The beautiful days of your youth
