Good Years

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
Well maybe we were meant to last a lifetime
Maybe you were only ever passing by
It's hard to think about you now in a new life
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, I'll wash out my tears
I will recover, I will revere
And I know it hurts, but I'll hold them dear
I will remember you, always remember you
For the good years
But now the tapestry is splitting at the seams
And I watch the river take it to the sea
And all the 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, I'll wash out my tears
I will recover, I will revere
And I know it hurts, 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
And I know it hurts, 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
