The Lovely Years

Those were the days
When we had childish dreams
We’d run through the house
Chasing our cares
Away
Turn on the sprinklers
We’d roll in the evening grass
Laughing until we cried
Chorus:
And I love the lovely years
No worries, no fears
Oh, what a great
life
This is the best time
Holding our child all day
It gives me a smile
and mends
every tear
In me And I love the lovely years
First words and steps
are here
Oh, what a great life
And when we’re old
We’ll sit and repeat ourselves
Telling our favorite stories
And we’ll love the lovely years
Remembering all the years
Of such a great life
And we’ll love the lovely days
They’ll never fade away
Just look in my eyes
