Текст пісні
Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do?
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
Close the door, light the light, we're stayin' home tonight
Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights
Let them all fade away, just leave us alone
And we'll live in a world of our own
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
I remember all the good times that we had before
And I remember, then my heart
My very soul cries out for more
But, baby
All your love for me is dying
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
And you on my mind
It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye, my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away with no words of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
There's a new world somewhere, they call the promised land
And I'll be there someday, if you will hold my hand
I still need you there beside me, until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you
It's a long, long journey to stay by my side
When I walk through the storm, you'll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune, my treasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow, and never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear, I don't know what I'd do
