Intro:
We never had that much to do,
So we just lay around in someone’s house.
Someday I’ll have it all again,
Just like way back when.
Back then we’d sleep until the afternoon,
Then we'd just get up and go outside.
Open a window, let the breeze blow in,
Forget everything.
Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing.
When I’m old and when I’m gray and when I stop working.
I hope that I can say,
When all my days are done:
We were just having fun.
Well we’d go drinking in the afternoon,
Lie out on the grass, and fall asleep.
Oh will I ever see that girl again?
The girl from way back when...
Yeah, we used to share a cigarette,
And throw together everything we had...
And then go driving in my parents’ car,
We never strayed too far.
Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing.
When I’m old and when I’m gray and when I stop working.
I hope that I can say,
When all my days are done:
That I had my fun.
Instrumental:
Those will be the days that I had my fun.
Yeah time can move so fast.
Some things are made to last.
Here's to you, my dear old friend,
From way back when...
Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing.
When I’m old and when I’m gray and when I stop working.
I hope that I can say,
When all my days are done:
That I had my fun.
