Good Years lyrics

Well, they were the golden days, they were our best The sky was painted in a shade of tawny red The leaves were fallin', the birds all flew the nest You were someone that I had You were someone that I had Well, maybe we were meant to last a lifetime Maybe you were only ever passin' by It's hard to think about you now in a new life So I watch you fade into the black You were someone that I had You were someone that I had You were someone that I had Give me some time, I'll wash out my tears I will recover, I will revere And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear I will remember you, always remember you For the good years But now the tapestry is splitting at the seams And I watch the river take you to the sea And all the cars are slowly running down by cheeks We were golden, now we're fadin' into black You were someone that I had You were someone that I had You were someone that I had Give me some time, I'll wash out my tears I will recover, I will revere And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear I will remember you, always remember you For the good years Does it break your heart like mine? Does it take you back in time? You were someone that I had You were someone that I knew And I miss you Does it break your heart like mine? Does it take you back in time? You were someone that I had You were someone that I knew And I miss you Give me some time, I'll wash out my tears I will recover, I will revere And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear I will remember you, always remember you For the good years Oh, they were the golden days, they were our best The sky was painted in a shade of tawny red
