The song Charlie Noble mentioned by Bob Zentz is actually

"SWEET SONG FROM YESTERDAY"

Hold back the days in which I'm living,
So far from home, so far from free;
Hold back the way we've all been given,
And let a sweet song from yesterday wash over me.

If we should meet like ships a-passin',
Some stormy night upon the blue,
We may not speak, but for the asking,
I'd let a sweet song from yesterday wash over you.

When it seems you dreams ain't worth the dreamin',
When you can't find you way through,
And when you schemes ain't worth the schemin',
Just let a sweet song from yesterday wash over you.

...verse I added many years ago because I thought it was too short:(a copy was given to Bob just so he'd know what happened if anyone used it near him.)

"So many times we've sung together-
So many songs, but still too few.
So sing tonight - and on the 'morrow,
Just let a sweet song from yesterday...wash over you"
