Those Were The Days

Keith Sykes
 We 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 belong
 But 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 time
 I 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 them
 But 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 time
 We 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 gone
 But 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 time
 But 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
