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, baby, baby, baby, 'til we reach the sky
If I ever reach, my love, haven't yet
My love, 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 under everything, sweep everything underneath the rug
And they're never free from conflict, from conflict and strife
Because they per-petuate, per-petuate some kinda lie, my love
Per-petuate, ( per-)petuate 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 got to get used to it, 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 goneby
Well, I go walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' up that hillside now
Where there heather, where there heather, where there heather's growing so wild
And 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 oh, 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 back '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 of the days gone by, my love
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink, I wann share, share a cup of kindness
For the sake of the days gone by
