James R. Stout: These Halcyon Days

I had to look up the word. It doesn't embarrass me to admit it. I don't know so much after all. Here's what I found

Meaning

Calm, peaceful days.
There's a discussion of the origins of phrase, which ends with this:
Our current use of halcyon days tends to be nostalgic and recalling of the seemingly endless sunny days of youth. 

That is what the song is all about. The song captures the meaning of the phrase- he reminisces with a friend about their lives. It's a nostalgic look back through their years together.




This song and others are on Randy's "Sojourn of Love" CD. You can order it from the Products page.
