about

In a songwriting circle, the challenge had gone out to write a sad ukulele song. This was mine. I was thinking about my loving parents and what it must be like to get to grow old together.

lyrics

OCTOGEN ARIA

Whatever happened to the way
We used to laugh?
I remember back in the day
How we used to laugh

Now the sun still comes up and the sky is still blue
You're still sitting with me and I'm still sitting with you
But remember back in the day
How we used to laugh?

Whatever happened to the way
We used to fight?
Oh, I remember back in the day
How we used to fight

Now the rain still comes down and the flowers still bloom
And there's you and there's me in this same sitting room
But remember back in the day
How we used to fight?

We'd be at it all night
Til the morning's first light
And the neighbours could hear
But we just didn't care

Whatever happened to the way
We used to kiss?
Oh, I remember back in the day
How we used to kiss?

Now the moon still shines on with that same orange glow
And the same streets fall silent in the suburbs below
But remember back in the day
It went something like this

Yeah, we never had that but we always had this
Now there's so much the same, yet there's so much I miss
Remember back in the day
How we used to kiss?

We'd be at it all night
Til the morning's first light
And the children could hear
But we just didn't care.

No we just didn't care
It went something like this
