It's the feeling of your hands running through my hair In the midnight hour It's sight of your eyes in the morning light Every shade of blue You hated early rises, and I was the same But I'd die for those days When the sunlight would fall on your face And your smile, it would put mine to shame Oh, I've been trying but I can't replace Those better days, take me back again Those better days It's the laying by the fire in the afternoon And the late night whiskey Looking sweeter than sweet in your dungarees And I would tell you so What I'd give for an hour Just a moment would do 'Cause I've been counting the minutes Since I spent one with you I've been living in a memory But I shouldn't stay Move on from those days When the sunlight would fall on your face And your smile, it would put mine to shame Oh, I've been trying but I can't replace Those better days, take me back again Take me back, take me back To those better days When the sunlight would fall on your face And your smile, it would put mine to shame Oh, I've been trying but I can't replace Oh, those better days, oh, those better days When the sunlight would fall on your face And your smile, it would put mine to shame Oh, I've been trying but I can't replace Those better days, take me back again Take me back again Those better days
