Old Days Lyrics

Save a smile for me
Just a smile for me
Though you no longer love me

Save a smile for me
Just a smile for me
You put so much above me

All these things that I think
Though I’m seldom thinking of you

And I stare in my drink
And the world turns a soft golden hue
Its true

Do one thing for me
Just one thing for me
I’ll ask nothing else of you

Save a smile for me
Just a smile for me
Some day you’ll be lonely too

No, I know not the day
When our love slipped away
Never to return

But as day turns to night
Yeah I think that you’re right
That I’ll never, ever learn

So do one thing for me
Just one thing for me
I’ll ask nothing else of you

Save a smile for me
Just a smile for me
Some day you’ll be lonely too

Some day you’ll be lonely too
Some day you’ll be lonely

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In my opinion, one of the greatest Slacker songs, and that's quite a stretch considering how great most of the others are!
