The Other Day

The other day when I was young We sat and ate and drank and sung Of years gone by and dreams gone cold And of the day we must grow old My friend, said I, away let's fly My friend, let's fly away But you were gone, and like the dawn You faded into day So the time does pass me by Years and years and still I try To hold the tears we all must cry To ease our growing pains So the time does pass me by Years and years and still I try To hold on tighter, you reply You cannot stop the rain So the time does pass me by Years and years and still I try To hold the tears we all must cry To ease our growing pains So the time does pass me by Years and years and still I try To hold on tighter, you reply You cannot stop the rain The other day when I was young We sat and ate and drank and sung Of years gone by and dreams gone cold And of the day we must grow old My friend, said I, away let's fly My friend, let's fly away But you were gone, and like the dawn You faded into day You were gone, and like the dawn You faded into day
