Analysis of Happy Times



Sitting in my favorite chair
Thinking of past times
When life was so nice and easy
And then you start to pine.

For all good things are in the past
But I remember with a smile
there's nothing that can take away
The many happy miles.

But life goes on and we just remember
All the happy times
But there are more where they came from
So let your be fine.
