Those Were The Days

I remember playing games
And wishing we were older then
We were so much younger then
Those were the days
I remember holding hands
And thinking it would never end
We were so in love back then
Those were the days

Those were the days of innocence
And we were so naïve
You would lie down in the grass
All tangled up in me
Always wasn't just a word
But something to believe
We had our entire lives to waste

Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Time was so much slower then
Seven turned to seventeen
Somewhere in the in between
Those were the days
Back before we realized
Hearts were small and fragile things
We said, "I do", with jelly rings
Those were the days

Those were the days of innocence
And we were so naïve
You would lie down in the grass
All tangled up in me
Always wasn't just a word
But something to believe
We had our entire lives to waste

Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I still have the note you wrote
Said, "I'll miss you darling, be back soon"
Four pictures from a photobooth
You were laughing, I was kissing you

And kissing you
God, I'm missing you

Nothing ever stays the same
Glad we didn't know it then
'Cause we were so much younger then

Those were the days of innocence
And we were so naïve
You would lie down in the grass
All tangled up in me
Always wasn't just a word
But something to believe
I still miss you in a thousand ways

Oh, those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
