Days Gone By

Well I know that 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
So many words I said, I said so long ago
Well, we were oh 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 keep
On growing and growing
Baby, 'til we reach the sky

I'm 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
I wanna drink a cup of kindness
For the sake
For the sake of the days gone by

I feel so sorry for the ones who lead
For to lead
They wanna lead such a perfect life
Sweep under everything
Sweep everything underneath the rug
And they're never free from conflict
From conflict and strife

Because they perpetuate some kinda lie
My love perpetuate the lie
But everything I'm doin'
I had to fight for it
Had to fight for it in the days gone by

There is no easy way out, my friend
You got to get used to it somehow
Everyhting you got in you life
Right up 'til now
Somebody had to fight for it
You had to fight for it in the days gone by
Well, I go walkin' up that hillside now
Where there heather's growing so wild
And I'm gonna carry my child on
My shoulders 'cross the river
For the sake of the days gone by

For the days of gone by, my dear
For the days of gone i wanna drink
I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you
For the sake
For the sake of the Auld Lang Syne

For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna carry my child on
My shoulders 'cross the river
Gonna keep on walkin'
In the days of Auld Lang Syne

Have mercy now have mercy now
Have mercy, have mercy now
Gonna keep on keepin' on
For the sake of the days gone by

Everything I have in my life right now
I had to fight for it somehow
Gotta keep on fighting today
For the sake of the days gone by
Oh, for old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
I wanna drink a cup of kindness
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
For the sake of days gone by
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink a cup of kindness
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
