What has become of the old days,
When ev'rything so simple was,
When all was games and fun and plays?
We did as ev'ry child does

All that was once, is now the past
And nevermore is to repeat
A day comes once and does not last;
Sometimes life is so bittersweet

Gone is the day of our brave quest
When wandered in the desert we
And each one wondered, thought, and guessed
When we'd again each other see

Our story has come to a close
Our journey's done, our quest complete
And though we did vanquish our foes,
The victory is bittersweet

The fellowship is broken now,
And we've all gone our sep'rate ways
And tried to move on, but somehow
We've not forgot the former days

We cannot replay or rewind
Only our memories entreat
And ev'ry time we look behind,
The memories are bittersweet

Gone are the friends we held so dear,
Who carried us through sun and rain
Now who will be our comrade here
To walk with us and share the pain?

All friends part ways and say good-bye,
Sometimes never again to meet
We think of them and laugh and cry;
The memory is bittersweet

What has become of happy past,
Our noble days and nobler friends?
These things were never made to last
And ev'ry story someday ends

So treasure all that now you see
Take care to make your life complete
And when you look back, it will be
Not sad, but merely bittersweet
