We never had that much to do
So we just lay around in someone's house
Someday I'll have it all again
Just like way back when.

Back then we'd sleep until the afternoon
And we'd just get up and go outside
Open a window, let the breeze blow in
Forget everything.

Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
We were just having fun.

Well we'd go drinking in the afternoon
Lie out on the grass, so fall asleep
Oh will I ever see that girl again?
The girl from way back when.

Yea, we used to share a cigarette
And throw together everything we had
And then you're driving in my parents' car
And loving straight til you fall.

Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
That I had my fun.

Those will be the days that won my soul.

Yea, in time we moved so fast
Some things are made to last
I'm here to see you, my dear old friend
From way back when.

Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
That I had my fun.
