JUST AS IT USED TO BE IN DAYS GONE BY. Copyright, MDCOCXCV, by Henry J. Wehman, New York & Chicago. Words and Music by Charles Graham. 
A friend of mine took a sweet girl for his wife, Promised to cherish And love her through life, But soon he neglected his nice, pleasant home-Out late at night with fast friends he would roam; At last, when a wee, darling babe came to bless, Pleaded his wife through her tears and distress, He kissed her, and vowed that a change she would see-Their home would be just as it used to be. 
Chorus. Just as it used to be in days gone by, Proud of him now is she, she won't tell why: Kindest of husbands he, no happier wife than she, Just as it used to be in days gone by. 
That home of theirs now is a paradise bright, Wife and sweet baby. his precious delight; He never neglects her he promised to love, Her comfort now is all pleasures above, A smile lights the eyes where a tear was before; Let the world dazzle, it tempts him no more-Contented and proud with his babe on his knee, Their home now is just as It used to be.- Chorus.
