Lyrics

Those Were The Days

I used to walk ‘round the sun ‘til it burnt my feet
I used to fly like a bird ‘til you clipped my wings
I used to ‘cross that ocean and turn it into sand

Those were the days
Those were the days

I used to carry a flame ‘til it burnt my soul
I used to own a diamond mine ‘til it ran out of coal
Thought I held your love in the palm of my hand

Those were the days
Those were the days


I used to wake at night and wonder where I’ve been
I used to think this heart would never mend
Now I walk across the sun cause there’s calluses on my soul
Those were the days
