These Were the Days - Will Hoge

I remember before I was even born

I wanted your love

Your name on my tongue

And I know now

That it was not just a dream

Cause it’s here now

And I still believe

Give me something I can hold on to

Don’t let it all just get away

Don’t want to look back on a photograph

And say that these, these were the days

These were the days

And I want you

In this front seat next to me

Your hair in pigtails

Barefoot and skinned knees

And I hold you

As the rain starts to fall

But I fall away home

Drenched down to the bone

Give me something I can hold on to

Don’t let it all just get away

Don’t want to look back on a photograph

And say that these, these were the days

These were the days

And everybody wants what they can’t get I know

And even when it comes it feels like it’s moving just a bit too slow

And everybody else can just sit back and watch it go away

Don’t want to look back on a photograph

And say that these, these, these were the days

These were the days

These were the days

These were the days

These were the days
