      I was born in Scotland in 1965. We left for Australia June 1970. I remember turning the radio on in Scotland and this song was playing and I instantly fell in love with it and have listened to it off on on ever since - I have also heard the Russian verion.

      My memories are still available. I think I'm younger than my joints allow. I believe I'm stronger than my grip grabs. I know I'm smarter than I look. Aging humbles us all. No egos allowed. No degree will save you from the effects of what we've all put into our bodies over the years in the ignorance and trust of self preservation or amusement and relaxation. Almost all of us succumb to the harsh reality of time. Why don't we live as long as trees? Because we trusted society to be fair, honest, and reliable. Hope sustains us all now. Hope in our Savior's Son, Jesus.

      Be glad it's a new day that has dawn
      Don't frown it's today put a Smile on 🤠

    Can't explain just why but today I got an urge to know who had written this song, thinking perhaps one of the Beatles or someone like that. So I Googled it and what I learned surprised me. This song is in fact an English tramslation of a Russian folk song ( which maybe explains why it has such a nostalgic air about it. ) Music is by Boris Famin and lyrics by Eugene Raskin. And not a lot of people know that ! 🙂
