The Days of Being Young and Free

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Listen to my heart as it beats for you And it's telling you the things That I never could And it's laying it down on the line for you [Verse 2] And the years are catching up, I can see it on your face And the days of being young and free Are left there with the memories That blow in the wind [Pre-Chorus] And I can feel it coming when the Monday morning blues They last all through the week, I feel it on Sunday too And I can feel it coming when my knees feel weak And I cannot speak the truth [Chorus] The days of being young, the days of being free They're etched upon my face in every line that you see The stories I could tell, the lies I told as well What I wouldn't give to live it all again [Verse 3] The years are passing by every single day Where did they go Did you take them all away Now I'm older and grey [Verse 4] And their children they all left, they fled the family nest And now we're all alone The house don't feel like home Anymore, anymore [Pre-Chorus] And I can feel it coming when the Monday morning blues They last all through the week, I feel it on Sunday too And I can feel it coming when my knees feel weak And I cannot speak the truth [Chorus] The days of being young, the days of being free They're etched upon my face in every line that you see The stories I could tell, the lies I told as well What I wouldn't give to live it all again [Outro] And in my baby's eyes, I lived it all again The fear, the surprise, everything In my baby's eyes, I lived it all again And I wouldn't change anything And in my baby's eyes, I lived it all again And I wouldn't change anything
