Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Sometimes I get to feelin' I was back in the old days, long ago When we were kids, when we were young Things seemed so perfect, you know? The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young The sun was always shinin', we just lived for fun Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know The rest of my life's been, just a show Those are the days of our lives The bad things in life were so few Those days are all gone now but one thing is true When I look and I find I still love you You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide Ain't that a shame? Ooh, I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride When life was just a game No use in sitting and thinkin' on what you did When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know Better sit back and go, with the flow These are the days of our lives They've flown in the swiftness of time These days are all gone now but some things remain When I look and I find, no change Those were the days of our lives, yeah The bad things in life were so few Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true When I look and I find, I still love you I still love you
