lyrics

Where have the songs all gone ?
(Lyrics and music: Tim Hunter)

Searching for a song from long ago,
Tryin’ to find it on the radio

Times are changing fast
Nothing seems to last
We look back to the past

Where have the songs all gone ?
Songs that could set you free
And make you sing along
All of those melodies
They were so strong
Where did they all come from ?
Where have the songs all gone ?

Sometimes it seem the songs have all been sung
There’s really nothing new under the sun

Times are changing fast
Nothing seems to last
We look back to the past

Where have the songs all gone ?
Songs that could set you free
And make you sing along
All of those melodies
They were so strong
Where did they all come from ?
Where have the songs all gone ?

Its all been done before
Nothing new seems to endure
So we need an encore
We need to hear those songs once more.

Where have the songs all gone ?
Songs that could set you free
And make you sing along
All of those melodies
They were so strong
Where did they all come from ?
Where have the songs all gone ?
