i remember before i was even born
i want your love , your name on my tongue
and i know now , that it was not just a dream
cause it’s here now , and i still believe

give me something i can hold on to
don’t let it all just get away
don’t’ want to look back on a photograph . .
and say that these . .

these were the days , these were the days

and i want you in this front seat next to me
your hair in pigtails , barefoot and skinned knees
and i hold you as the rain starts to fall
i follow the way home , switch down to the phone

pre – chorus

C hold G
and everybody wants what they can’t get , i know

even when it comes and feel like it’s moving just a bit too slow
Am D
and everybody can just sit back and watch it go away

don’t’ want to look back on a photograph . .
Am D

these were the days , these were the days

these were the days , these were the days
these were the days
