Intro: We never had that much to do So we’d 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 Yea those will be the days that I will be missing you When I’m older when I’m gray and when I?ll stop working I hope that I can say STOP 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 Yea we used to share a cigarette And t’row together everything we had And then go driving in my parents? car We never strayed too far Oh yea those will be the days that I will be missing you When I’m older when I’m gray and when I?ll stop working I hope that I can say STOP When all my days are done That I had my fun Those will be the days that I had my fun Yea time can move so fast Some things are made to last Here’s to you my dear old friend From way back when Yea those will be the days that I will be missing you When I’m older when I’m gray and when I?ll stop working I hope that I can say STOP When all my days are done That I had my fun

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les souvenirs nostalgiques d'une période où la vie était simple et insouciante. On se remémore des moments passés à traîner avec des amis, à profiter des plaisirs de la vie sans souci, comme passer des après-midis à discuter, à s'endormir dans l'herbe ou à conduire la voiture des parents pour partir à l'aventure. Elle parle aussi de l'espoir de pouvoir un jour se retourner sur sa vie avec le sourire, en se disant que ces instants de joie et d'amitié ont véritablement compté. C'est une réflexion sur le passage du temps et sur ce qu'il reste de ces instants précieux quand on vieillit.
