Those Were The Days

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Old photographs, faded smiles, memories in sepia tones Ooh, they taste still after the sound of familiar moans Like when love was young, hearts full of hope, not broken stones Those were the days before we ever felt alone Those were the days we had it all figured out Young and wild, running free without a doubt The future stretched before us, a wide-open route Innocence and passion before the flames went out Those were the days we had it all figured out Young and wild, running free without a doubt The future stretched before us, a wide-open route Innocence and passion before the flames went out Those were the days we had it all figured out Young and wild, running free without a doubt The future stretched before us, a wide-open route Innocence and passion before the flames went out Remember those summer nights Cruising with the windows down The radio blasting the beat of our hometown We were invincible with nothing to hold us down But time changes everything, turns smiles into frowns You're running this summer block where we used to hang Playing ball, chasing dreams, never thought we'd change But life throws curveballs, tests are shining a ring Now we're just shadows of who we were, it's a shame But I won't forget those days, the laughter and the tears The bonds we forged, the love that conquered fears Those were the days when our futures were clear Now we're just memories fading year after year Those were the days we had it all figured out Young and wild, running free without a doubt The future stretched before us, a wide-open route Innocence and passion before the flames went out Those were the days we had it all figured out Young and wild, running free without a doubt The future stretched before us, a wide-open route Innocence and passion before the flames went out Sometimes I close my eyes and try to rewind Back to the simplicity where love was truly kind But the clock keeps ticking, leaving the past behind Those were the days forever etched in my mind Those were the days we had it all figured out Young and wild, running free without a doubt The future stretched before us, a wide-open route Innocence and passion before the flames went out Those were the days when love was young and new We thought it would last forever, me and you But time took its toll and tore us in two Now all I'm left with are memories of you Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Those were the days, mm-hmm, yeah The days Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Oh
