We never had that much to do
So we just lay around in
someone’s house
Someday I’ll have it all again
Just like way back when
Back then we’d sleep
until the afternoon
And we’d just get up
and go outside
Open a window
let the breeze blow in
Forget everything
Yea those will be the days that
I will be missing
When I’m older when I’m gray
and when I’ll stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
We were just having fun
Well we’d go drinking
in the afternoon
Lie out on the grass
so fall asleep
Oh will I ever see
that girl again
The girl from way back when
Yea we used to share a cigarette
And throw together
everything we had
And then you’re driving
in my parents’ car
And loving straight til you fall
Yea those will be the days that
I will be missing
When I’m older when I’m gray
and when I’ll stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
That I had my fun
Those will be the days
That won my soul
Yea in time we moved so fast
Some things are made to last
I’m here to see you
my dear old friend
From way back when
Yea those will be the days that
I will be missing
When I’m older
when I’m gray and
when I’ll stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
That I had my fun
