Oh they were the golden days
They were our best
The sky was painted in a shade of tawny red
The leaves were falling down
The birds all flew the nest
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
Maybe we weren't meant to last a lifetime
Maybe you were only ever passing by
It's hard to think about you now in a new light
So I'll watch you fade into the black
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
Give me some time
To wash out my tears
I will recover
I will revere
I know it hurts
But I'll hold them dear
I will remember you
Always remember you for the good years
Now the tapestry
Is splitting at the seams
And I watch the river take it to the sea
All our colours slowly running down my cheeks
We were golden now we're fading into black
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
Give me some time
To wash out my tears
I will recover
I will revere
I know they hurt
But I'll hold them dear
I will remember you
Always remember you for the good years
Does it break your heart like mine?
Does it take you back in time?
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I knew
And I miss you
Does it break your heart like mine?
Does it take you back in time?
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I knew
And I miss you
Give me some time
I'll Wash out my tears
I will recover
I will revere
I know they hurt
But I'll hold them dear
I will remember you
Always remember you for the good years
Oh they were the golden days
They were our best
The sky was painted in a shade of tawny red
