The Lovely Years

Those were the days

When we had childish dreams

We'd run through the house

Chasing our cares

awayTurn on the sprinklers

We'd roll in the evening grass

Laughing until we criedChorus:

And I love the lovely years

No worries, no fears

Oh, what a great

lifeThis is the best time

Holding our child all day

It gives me a smile

and mends

every tear

in meAnd I love the lovely years

First words and steps

are here

Oh, what a great lifeAnd when we're old

we'll sit and repeat ourselves

telling our favorite storiesAnd we'll love the lovely years

remembering all the years

of such a great lifeAnd we'll love the lovely days

They'll never fade away

Just look in my eyes
