"Those Were the Days" - An Applejack Original Song 🍎

I wrote this song as a dedication to the Apple parents ❤️
The sun comes up, there's work to be done
On Sweet Apple Acres we rise with the dawn
The orchard's our home and it's all we've known
But I ain't afraid of steppin' out on my own
Cause every seed we plant, every harvest we take
Ain't just for today, it's for the future we make
With every apple tree, growin' tall and true
I know there's somethin' bigger in the work we do
I don't wanna live my life lookin' back thinkin' to myself
"Those were the days"
I know there's so much more to look forward to in so many ways
I've got a brother and a sister too
Plus Granny and of course we all miss you
But we're gonna try to live our lives the way you'd want us to
The world's always changin' that's just how it goes
But here in this family love only grows
Through every challenge, through every fall
We stand back up cause we've been through it all!
We stick together just like you taught and we keep on workin' with the strength we've got
Even when the days feel heavy and long
I hear your voice tellin' me to stay strong
I don't wanna live my life lookin' back thinkin' to myself
"Those were the days"
I know there's so much more to look forward to in so many ways
I've got a brother and a sister too
Plus Granny and of course we all miss you
But we're gonna try to live our lives the way you'd want us to
We get busy, tend to miss the moments
And they're gone before we know
If we wanna make the most of what we have
We gotta look around and remember that
Someday I'll look back on today and think to myself
"Those were the days"
And the cycle repeats itself for as long as we wait
I don't wanna live my life lookin' back thinkin' to myself
"Those were the days"
I know there's so much more to look forward to in so many ways
I've got a brother and a sister too
Plus Granny and of course we all miss you
But we're gonna try to live our lives the way you'd want us to
We get busy, tend to miss the moments
And they're gone before we know
If we wanna make the most of what we have
We gotta look around and remember that
Every apple we pick, every tree we grow
Reminds me of the love that still flows
We'll keep on livin', we'll keep on through
In every step forwards, in memory, of you
