Children playing ring around the rosey
Not a care they had
That was when a Dad was a Dad
Mothers read to them at night
Everything in their world was right
The sounds of music playing in the park
It was safe to be out after dark
We gathered around the table to talk
Summer breezes drifted in our door
Or we sat on the porch
After supper and after chores
The radio sat in the parlour
We listened to Amos and Andy
Or maybe Fibber McGee
All of us together
Gentle days,and gentle nights
The flag waved from each home
We were a family the whole world
We were proud to be Americans
Those times have come and gone
But maybe they have returned again
But I remember when
Do you?
