Tom Waits - Martha The closing track of the A-side of his debut album "Closing Time", released in 1973 on Asylum Records. A story told from the point of view of an elderly man, named Tom Frost, calling up an old lover over forty years after their breakup. "And, those were the days of roses, of poetry and prose And Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me There was no tomorrows, we packed away our sorrows And we saved them for a rainy day"
Dan Fogelberg and Emmylou Harris - Only the Heart May Know Friends we knew Follow us through All of the days of our lives Love we shared Waits for us there Where our wishes forever reside. Falling tears Memories' mirrors Where are summers Oh, where are the years?
"The Rare Ould Times" by the Dublin City Ramblers,and many others. One of the best songs ever written about those subjects.
Andy Williams, "Memories", such a gorgeous, emotional song I like this version better than the Elvis one, not sure which was the bigger hit
Andy's rendition was indeed gorgeous. Unfortunately, it was never released as a single, included only as a track on his hit "Happy Heart" album in 1969.
"I Knew This Place", a song about one's childhood home, written by David Mallet; sung here by Ann Mayo Muir, with help from Gordon Bok and Ed Trickett:
