Those Dancing Days” (Are Gone)
Music & Lyrics
By
Michael P. Naughton
& Donna Novak-Naughton

Those dancing days are gone
Those dancing days are gone
Going, going, gone…
Going, going, gone

I throw my fist
Right through the picture window of the past
It’s burnt beyond all recognition
I’m sifting through the crash

Those dancing days are gone
The time has come to break tradition
And shift the melody
Those dancing days are gone
We sang a simple song
So simple
We struggled to be free
(lead break)

I don’t ask anyone’s permission anymore.

I reminisce every chance I get
To slip into the past
Some say, “things were better then,”
Life was such a gas

Those dancing days are gone
They bucked tradition
And old renditions
That simply left us flat
Those Dancing Days Are Gone…

(Guitar Break)

Those Dancing Days Are Gone!
No Page or Plant
To help us chant
The Song Remains the Same…

Bridge Section
Whisper: Listen Mister – Listen Mister
I don’t ask permission – I don’t ask permission
I don’t ask anyone’s permission anymore
I don’t ask permission anymore
Those dancing days are gone

Those Dancing Days Are Gone
Dancing Days Are Gone
Dancing Days Are Gone
Going, Going, Gone
Dancing days are gone…
Those Dancing Days Are Gone
Dancing Days Are Gone
Dancing Days Are Gone
Going, Going, Gone
Going, Going, Gone
