Days Gone By

Well I know that 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

Well, 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 wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you

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

And hopefully we will keep on growing and growing

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

If I ever reach, my love, haven't yet

My love, 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 wanna drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness

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

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

For to lead, they wanna 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 per-petuate, per-petuate some kinda lie, my love

Per-petuate, (per-)petuate the lie

But everything I'm doin', everything I'm doin', 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

Everyhting you got in you life, right up 'til now

Somebody had to fight for it

You had to fight for it in the days gone by

Well, I go walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' up that hillside now

Where there heather, where there heather, where there heather's growing so wild

And I'm gonna carry my child carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river

Cross 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 wanna share a cup, share a cup of kindness with you

For the sake, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne

For oh, for Auld Lang Syne, my dear

For the sake, for the sake, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne

I wanna carry my child on my back 'cross the river

Gonna keep on walkin', keep on walkin'

Walkin' 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

And never never never brought to mind

I wanna drink a cup, drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness

For the sake of Auld Lang Syne

For the sake of the days gone by, my love

For the sake of Auld Lang Syne

I wanna drink, I wann share, share a cup of kindness

For the sake of the days gone by
