Those were the days

The snow falls down from the grey sky. It's all white. The top of the houses, the branches of the trees and the cars in front of the houses are all covered by snow. In this tranquil evening, I see through the window. The twinkle lights around the Christmas trees remind me of this special season's greetings. But here alone, I miss my family and friends, who are far from me.

My dear friends, how are you doing? My thoughts go back to those days when we enjoyed together. So many unforgettable things, the laughter, and the tears ... ... Here the familiar rhythm fills the whole room, and my heart as well:

"Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way... ..."

Then I notice a small animal is moving in the tree. Oh, it's a squirrel. Poor little thing, are you cold? You must be very lonely. Perhaps you're in your happy memory of those warm summer days when you were together with your buddies. Yeah, I guess we all have our own ways to go, for we all have our dreams to realize. So many years of time had passed by before you knew it.

"Then the busy years went rushing by us,
We lost our starry notions on the way ... ..."

Just tonight, I stand before the window. Nothing seems the way it used to be. I simply stand still, drinking a can of beer, with that familiar song of Mary Hopkins ? Those were the days. I can't help burst into tears with her forlorn delivery:

"Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do"

... ...

The snow falls down heavily out of the window... ...
