Where Did They Go

(album: Where Did They Go - 1971)

I remember dancing through the velvet summer nights
Stars that softly flickered through a thousand colored lights
Sipping pink champagne until the sun began to rise
Till morning turned our laughter to goodbye

Where did they go, all the good times
And the flowers and the wine
The young men who held me
All the lovers who were mine?
Where did they go, all the sweet years
Filled with laughter every day?
When time went on forever
Oh, when did they slip away?

Driving through the midnight streets in gently falling rain
A man might offer everything except, of course, his name
Leaning close he'd whisper how his love would never die
Till once again the morning meant goodbye

Where did they go, all the good times
And the flowers and the wine
The young men who held me
All the lovers who were mine?
Where did they go, all the sweet years
Filled with laughter every day?
When time went on forever
Oh, when did they slip away?

Now it's time to light another candle on the cake
Join me in a glass of wine, it's just for old time's sake
We'll drink to all your wishes now, whatever they may be
If one or two come true just think of me

Where did they go, all the good times
And the flowers and the wine
The young men who held me
All the lovers who were mine?
Where did they go, all the sweet years
Filled with laughter every day?
When time went on forever
Oh, when did they slip away?
