| A sad fact widely known
|
| The most impassionate song to a lonely soul
|
| Is so easily outgrown
|
| But don’t forget the songs that made you smile
|
| And the songs that made you cry
|
| When you lay in awe on the bedroom floor
|
| And said «oh, oh, smother me mother»
|
| Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
|
| Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
|
| Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
|
| The passing of time and all of its crimes
|
| Is making me sad again
|
| The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes
|
| Is making me sad again
|
| But don’t forget the songs that made you cry
|
| And the songs that saved your life
|
| Yes, you’re older now and you’re a clever swine
|
| But they were the only ones who ever stood by you
|
| The passing of time leaves empty lives waiting to be filled
|
| The passing of time leaves empty lives waiting to be filled
|
| I’m here with the cause, I’m holding the torch
|
| In the corner of your room (can you hear me?)
|
| And when you’re dancing and laughing and finally living
|
| Hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly
|
| Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
|
| Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
|
| Oh la day, la da da dey di, la da da dey di
|
| Do you love me like you used to?
|
| Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
|
| Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
|
| Oh la day, la da da dey di, la da da dey di
