Topic: REFLECTIONS

REFLECTIONSby Russell Harding


medium tempo






Verse 1:


[Em]what ever happened to the days when we were [B7]young?


never had to worry bout dieing from atomic [Em]bombs


momma and poppa worked every day side by [B7]side


sunday after church they'd take us all for a [Em]ride.






Chorus:


when your [G]young the sun never sets it always [D]shines,


[F]what ever you want to do theres always [C]time,time to


[G]sit around and listen to the [D]stories, [C]papa told of jesus and his


[G]glory[D]






Verse 2:


[Em]what ever happened to the days when we were [B7]young?



the bad guys lost and the heros always [Em]won, we were


safe at night like walkin in the noon day [B7]sun,the cops always


had the bad guys on the [Em]run.






Chorus:


when your [G]young the sun never sets it always [D]shines,


[F]what ever you want to do theres always [C]time,time to


[G]sit around and listen to the [D]stories,[C]papa told of jesus and his


[G]glory[D]






Verse 3:


[Em]what ever happened to the days when we were [B7]young?


didn't need drugs we were havin to much [Em]fun, friends


were real and family stood by your [B7]side,but it all changed


we forgot why jesus [Em]died.

Re: REFLECTIONS

hey daddy cool nice words i appreiciate it your right the song points out conditions as they once were before the modernization that ushered in the demise of a way of life and values that are out of place in this decade of me, me, me, murder glorified in film,tv and music we are in a losing battle for our childrens minds some how we have to turn back the clock but I haven't any solutions the only thing i can do is keep these ideals alive in words and music I admit I pen some nonsence (who dont?) from time to time but now and then a good one slips in and sometimes one good idea is sufficient.

Hi Russ,

I have just popped to your website and had a listen. Great song and recording and I have to say that the lyrics reflect a lot of my recent thoughts.

Glad to see you have now got the upper hand with chopro formatting too.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: REFLECTIONS

ark a mans got to have some vices and ice cream is mine,I do love it so i dug out some songs(about a hundred) from a folder that was stashed it the closet that i wrote and recorded on a 4 track reel to reel and "reflections"was one of them i am going to re-arrange and record them again its exciting discovering material from the past and looking at it with eyes of the present a lot of the early songs have no chords but reading over the lyrics i came to the conclusion I discovered a treasure trove of new possibilities thanks  ark im glad you liked the song
