I love this version so much. It is so haunting and beautiful and I love love LOVE her voice so much. Not to mention it is from one of my most favorite televisions series of all time...
'Give it a listen dear friends...
It is such a sad song filled with lyrics that ring so true to me on so many deep levels.
For days of long ago, my dear...
For day of long ago.
We will take a cup of kindness dear
and drink to long ago.
We long for the days of long ago when all of our beloveds were still here. The sweet memories of times much happier of much sweeter. When all family members were still with us and we took for granted those special moments. The laughter, The love. The odd things we remember now that strike you as quirky and quaint.
We two have paddled in the stream
from morning sun til dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since days of long ago.
We long for friendships that have changed through the years that have grown more distant. The connection is lost and we remembers and long for the days when we were able to pick up the phone on a weekly/monthly basis and reconnect....and now it is s struggle to ever get them on the phone. Too busy. To hectic. Too this. Too that....and it is sad. Yet when the journey paths come back together, is even for a brief moment...it is like we have never been apart...and that does a heart so good.
And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand o' thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
For days of long ago.
So let's toast to years gone by and all the sweetness of memories long forgotten. Let's hold close the loved ones who have gone and look towards the sweeter days when we can hug it out again. Let's toast the friendships and to the reconnection and the love we share.
