Days Gone By

She's the one who saved the world
And forgot to save herself
Tryin' to give to others
A happiness she never had
She spent youth and freedom
With young girls innocence
Even when she passed through the bullies land
She was raised to have no time and no high hope
Everyday she went to school and Sunday to the church
But round the corner a job was waiting for you
Life goes really fast and there's no time to choose
The time to have a little fun didn't last so long
A marriage came to fast and even with a son, with a son.
Is there a price that you would pay
To regain the times gone by?
To spend the time in other ways
Since maybe now you cry
Would you scream the feelings
That maybe now you hide?
You've left yourself
In days gone by
Then life became so much harder
And she was loosing the course
She sacrificed all her time with no rewards
Mother's needs and loneliness didn't let her rest
And there was time even for regrets
The child was growin' up far from mother's eyes
But she didn't know what she was leaving behind
One day she will find out who will be blamed
One day she will find out but it'll be too late
It will be too late
Is there a price that you would pay
To regain the times gone by?
To spend the time in other ways
Since maybe now you cry
Would you scream the feelings
That maybe now you hide?
You've left yourself
In days gone by
For sure you've made the world
A better place
But was this the life you dreamed of
In your joyful days?
One day before retirement
You will ask yourself
The woman who saved the world
And forgot to save herself
