Lyrics Celtic Thunder – Gold & Silver Days

As I sit here by the fireside
I’m turning back the years.
I can hear my mother singing in the morning
As she scrubbed our shining faces

Chorus
So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days,
Days filled with innocence and light.
Not a penny to our name,
We were happy just the same
In our gold and silver days.

In the parlour on a Friday night,
My father took the floor.
I can hear us join together in the chorus,
Singing «Just a Song at Twilight»
And «The Moon behind the Hill».
Now those voices are all silenced, gone before us.

Chorus

We gathered at the Daisy Field
On Sunday afternoon,
And we danced to Johnny Quigley and the Royal.
Through the years we all were scattered,
But our friends were good and true,
Always there when they were needed, always loyal.

Chorus
