The other day when I was young
We sat and ate and drank and sung
Of years gone by and dreams gone cold
And of the day we must grow old
My friend, said I, away let′s fly
My friend, let's fly away
But you were gone, and like the dawn
You faded into day
So the time does pass me by
Years and years and still I try
To hold the tears we all must cry
To ease our growing pains
So the time does pass me by
Years and years and still I try
To hold on tighter, you reply
You cannot stop the rain
So the time does pass me by
Years and years and still I try
To hold the tears we all must cry
To ease our growing pains
So the time does pass me by
Years and years and still I try
To hold on tighter, you reply
You cannot stop the rain
The other day when I was young
We sat and ate and drank and sung
Of years gone by and dreams gone cold
And of the day we must grow old
My friend, said I, away let′s fly
My friend, let's fly away
But you were gone, and like the dawn
You faded into day
You were gone, and like the dawn
You faded into day
