Days Gone By |
| Well I know I said that so long ago |
| I would not say it now |
| But I didn’t know what I said would stick like glue |
| What I said in the days gone by |
| Well they tried to stitch me up |
| With so many words I said, I said so long ago |
| Bet we were all so young and foolish then |
| Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow |
| For the days of Auld Lang Syne, my love |
| For the days of Auld Lang Syne |
| I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you |
| For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by |
| And hopefully we will, hopefully we will keep on growing and growing |
| Baby, baby, baby, baby till we reach the sky |
| If I ever reach my limit yet |
| Well I’m gonna surely, gonna surely have to try, have to try |
| For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, my dear |
| For the sake of Auld Lang Syne |
| I wanna drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness |
| For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by |
| Well I feel so, feel so sorry for the ones who lead |
| For to lead, they wanna lead such a perfect life |
| Sweep underneath everything, sweep everything underneath the rug |
| And they’re never free from conflict, from conflict and strife |
| Because they perpetuate, perpetuate some kind of lie, my love |
| Perpetuate, perpetuate the lie |
| But everything I’m doin', everything I’m doin' I had to fight for it |
| Had to fight for it in the days, in the days gone by |
| There is no easy, no easy way out, my friend |
| You gotta get used to it, used to it somehow |
| Everything you’ve got in your life, right up 'til now |
| Somebody had to fight for it |
| You had to fight for it in the days gone by |
| Well, go walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' up the hillside now |
| Where there heather, where there heather, where there heather’s growing so wild |
| Then I’m gonna carry my child, carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river |
| 'Cross the river for the sake, for the sake of the days gone by |
| For the days gone by, my dear |
| For the days, for the days gone by |
| I wanna share a cup, share a cup of kindness with you |
| For the sake, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne |
| For Auld, for Auld Lang Syne, my dear |
| For the sake, for the sake, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne |
| I wanna carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river |
| Gonna keep on walkin', keep on walkin', walkin' in the days |
| In the days of Auld Lang Syne |
| Have mercy now |
| Have mercy now |
| Have mercy |
| Have mercy now |
| Gonna keep on keepin' on |
| Keep on keepin' on |
| Keep on keepin' on |
| Keep on keepin' on |
| For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by |
| Everything I have in my life right now |
| I had to fight, had to fight for it somehow |
| Gotta keep on fighting, keep on fighting, fighting today |
| Fighting today for the sake of the days gone by |
| For old acquaintance be forgot |
| And never never never brought to mind |
| I wanna drink a cup, drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness |
| For the sake of Auld Lang Syne |
| For the sake, for the days gone by, ny love |
| For the sake of Auld Lang Syne |
| I wanna drink, I wanna share, share a cup of kindness |
| For the sake of the days gone by |
