Those were the days
When we had childish dreams
We'd run through the house
Chasing our cares away

Turn on the sprinklers
We'd run in the evening grass
Laughing till we cried

And I love the lovely years
No worries, no fears
Oh what a great life

This is the best time
Holding our child all day
He gives me a smile
And mends every tear in me

And I love the lovely years
First words and steps are here
Oh what a great life

And when we're old
We'll sit and repeat ourselves
Telling our favorite stories

And we'll love the lovely years
Remembering all the years
Oh such a great life

And we'll love the lovely days
They'll never fade away
Just look in my eyes
