Lyrics
I used to be in a band
Made up of my friends
We played across the land
When music had no end
And so beginning
We sang with all our hearts
And everything we had
Everything we gave
Came back to everyone
In the olden days
Songs with soul
And words with so much hope
For a brighter day
Oh, I know
That people hurt
But they tried to find a way
Through those broken days
But nowadays it seems
That we all need to care
And follow all our dreams
And answer all our prayers
What happened to "All You Need Is Love"?
And time will always pass
There goes another day
So slowly yet so fast
That you can lose your way
To these golden days
Songs with soul
And words with so much hope
For a brighter day
Oh, I know
That people hurt
But they tried to find a better way
To these golden days
Olden days
Broken days
Golden days
Made up of my friends
We played across the land
When music had no end
And so beginning
We sang with all our hearts
And everything we had
Everything we gave
Came back to everyone
In the olden days
Songs with soul
And words with so much hope
For a brighter day
Oh, I know
That people hurt
But they tried to find a way
Through those broken days
But nowadays it seems
That we all need to care
And follow all our dreams
And answer all our prayers
What happened to "All You Need Is Love"?
And time will always pass
There goes another day
So slowly yet so fast
That you can lose your way
To these golden days
Songs with soul
And words with so much hope
For a brighter day
Oh, I know
That people hurt
But they tried to find a better way
To these golden days
Olden days
Broken days
Golden days
About "Golden Days"
Graham Nash's 'Golden Days' shimmers with Laurel Canyon warmth, but the light is autumnal, not summer-bright. Acoustic guitar and close harmony recall a past that feels both precious and out of reach. The tension is gentle but real: gratitude for what was, and the quiet ache of what can't return.
