“School Days”

Description

"'Tis sweet to go back in memory To days of youth so dear to me When we could find a secluded spot And gather the blue forget-me-not." The singer recalls when "life was smooth as a poet's rhyme." He fondly remembers the old schoolhouse and childhood

Notes

This sounds so nineteenth-century-parlor-song, it's uncanny. But I don't know of any sheet music version. - RBW
