Today, October 6, 2019, the song I am dedicating to you is (a day late due to website Dish internet downtime on Saturday, 10/05/2019):

My Hit Parade: Twenty Years Ago By Kenny Rogers.

•All that really belongs to us is time; even he who has nothing else has that. So use it wisely – since they tell us we are here for only a fleeting moment.

Twenty Years Ago

Kenny Rogers

It’s been a long time since I walked
Through this old town
But oh how the memories start to flow
And there’s the old movie house
They finally closed it down
You could find me there every Friday night
Twenty years ago.

I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
But nobody’s left there I would know
On Saturday mornings that’s where
All my friends would meet
You’d be surprised to know what a dime would buy
Twenty years ago.

[Chorus]
All my memories from those days come gather round me
What I’d give if they could take me back in time
It almost seems like yesterday
Where do the good times go?
Life was so much easier twenty years ago.

I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson’s hardware store
His only son was my friend Joe
But he joined the army back in 1964
How could we know he would never come back
Twenty years ago

[Chorus]

Songwriters: DAN TYLER, MICHAEL SPRIGGS, MICHAEL I. NOBLE, WOOD NEWTON
