Times Gone By

Times Gone By,
and
Where Have All the Good Times Gone ?

Should old times past be forgotten?

During the holiday season, while gathering together with family, relatives or friends, old times and good memories are often brought back to mind.



'Auld Lang Syne' (YouTube video)

The Anglicized version of 'auld lang syne' means old long-since,
old long-ago, old long past, or times gone by.

The best-known use of the phrase is Robert Burns' poem "Auld lang
syne", the words of which are sung in English-speaking countries
around the world each New Year's Eve, to a tune that Burns said he
transcribed from an old man's singing of it. (The Phrase Finder)

The theme of 'auld lang syne' is the past. It is a nostalgic, bittersweet,
loving song, which calls upon us not to forget the old times past, but
to cherish them as wonderful and sweet memories.
