Those Were the Days

Keith SykesWe were wild and young and willing, to give up anything it took

To get to where we were going, you could read us like a book

Our nights were hot, filled with a lot, of lovers and dreams and songs

And mornings mostly found us in places we did not belongBut those were the days (those were the days)

Man those were the days (those were the days)

We listened to the songs Bob Dylan wrote

We sat there stoned and amazed

We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep

Searching for the perfect line

So here's to the good old days, baby, one more timeI remember Jimmy saying, if he had two blues and a beer

He might get some sleep tonight, give his head a chance to clear

I reminded him of an old girlfriend singing at a bar called Slim's

And I recall him doing lot's of things that night,

But sleeping wasn't one of themBut those were the days (those were the days)

Man those were the days (those were the days)

We learned all the songs the Beatles sang

We even tried Purple Haze

We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep

Searching for the perfect rhyme

So here's to the good old days, baby, one more timeWe were wild and young and willing, we are still are in some ways

Every now and then we still have one of them good old days

And it makes me proud when I think out loud

About lovers and dreams and songs

And how it always kept me going and the best ones are never goneBut those were the days (those were the days)

Man those were the days (those were the days)

We learned all the songs by Hank and Lefty

There must have been a thousand ways

We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep

And all but the very best lines

And even a few of those from time to timeBut those were the days (those were the days)

Man those were the days (those were the days)

So here's to the good old days, baby, one more time

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
