(Words by Elsie Janis, Music by Irving Berlin)
|
[1st verse:]
|
How short the days that we spent together
|
How long the hours since you went away
|
The world might still be a golden daydream
|
Had I known then what I know today
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I never knew
|
How much I loved you
|
I never knew
|
What love could mean
|
|
I never knew
|
I would regret dear
|
The Golden Days
|
That might have been
|
|
I never knew
|
I could be lonely
|
I never knew
|
I could feel blue
|
|
I never knew
|
How much I'd want you
|
Until I knew someone else wanted you
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
We miss the flow'rs when the snow is falling
|
We miss the sun when the skies are grey
|
The sweetest dream soon becomes a mem'ry
|
A golden mem'ry of yesterday
|
