Days Gone By

Well I know I said that so long ago

I would not say it now

But I didn't know what I said would stick like glue

What I said in the days gone by

Well they tried to stitch me up, so many words I said

I said so long ago

But we were, oh, so young and foolish then

Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow

For the days of auld lang syne, my love

For the days of auld lang syne

I want to drink, I want to drink a cup of kindness with you

For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

And hopefully we will, hopefully we will keep on growing and growing

Baby, baby, baby, baby, 'till we reach the sky

If I ever reach, I have never yet

But I'm gonna surely, gonna surely have to try, have to try

For the sake of auld lang syne, my dear

For the sake of auld lang syne

I want to drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness

For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

Yeah, yeah

Well I feel so, feel so sorry for the ones who lead

For to lead, they want to lead such a perfect life

Sweep under everything

Sweep everything underneath the rug

And they're never free from conflict, from conflict and strife

Because they perpetuate, perpetuate some kind of lie, my love

Perpetuate, perpetuate the lie

But everything I'm doing, everything I'm doing

I had to fight for it, had to fight for it

In the days

In the days gone by

There is no easy, no easy way out, my friend

You got to get used to it, used to it somehow

Everything you got in your life right up to now

Somebody had to fight for it, you had to fight for it

In the days gone by

Well go walking, walking, walking up that hillside, now

Where the heather, where the heather

Where the heather's growing so wild

Then I'm going to carry my child, carry my child on my shoulders

Across the river, across the river

For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

For the days gone by, my dear

For the days, for the days gone by

I want to share a cup, share a cup of kindness with you

For the sake, for the sake of auld lang syne

For auld, for auld lang syne, my dear

For the sake, for the sake, for the sake of auld lang syne

I'm gonna carry my child on my back across the river

Gonna keep on walking, keep on walking

Walking in the days, in the days of auld lang syne

Have mercy now, have mercy now

Have mercy, have mercy now

Gonna keep on keepin' on, keep on keepin' on

Keep on keepin' on, keep on keepin' on

For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

Everything I have in my life right now

I had to fight, had to fight for it somehow

Gotta keep on fighting, keep on fighting

Fighting today, fighting today

For the sake of the days gone by

For old acquaintance be forgot

Yeah, never, never, never brought to mind

I want to drink a cup, drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness

For the sake of auld lang syne

For the sake, for the days gone by my love

For the sake of auld lang syne

I wanna drink, I want to share, share a cup of kindness

For the sake of the days gone by
