... I look around and I know that everyone in here Has felt the warmth of Dawson I look around and I know that we'll be cold and full of disappointment When he goes away It's so hard just to say goodbye If I could open up I think I just might cry 'Cause I'm losing my best friend Feels like I'm losing both my arms I don't want you to go, but I know you have to If you're losing sleep in Aberdeen I'm only a phone call away You'll find comfort in the memories That I'll relay Those were the days Those were the days we'll say Those were the days Those were the days we'll say Those were the days Now listen carefully I need you to live by these words Let it circulate through your veins Head up, chest out now And after all this important guy I think its finally my turn to give you some important advice Now you're not scared but you will be when you're lonely And I'll be there in a blink of an eye Any time of the night when you need some conversation I'm you're main man And you know you can always count on me to be awake at 3 And I'll probably be thinking about the same old shit that you see And if it wasn't for this gentle bear I don't think I'd be here I can barely speak through tears 'cause when I'm low who can lift me? Oh I don't know upon a guess I say he's got a gift 'Cause he can always shift time and make it swift Turn a heart ache into milkshake, Turn a bad taste into a sweet taste That's why I don't want you to go, but I know you have to If you're losing sleep in Aberdeen I'm only a phone call away You'll find comfort in the memories That I'll relay Those were the days Those were the days we'll say Those were the days Those were the days we'll say Those were the days Even though you've got a million best friends I don't want the label I just want your presence And these words on my wrist will apply till the end, I see you as a brother just as much as a best friend So I will fight the deeper urge to say "Come home" 'Cause I know you have to go, I know you have to go And when you cross those Scottish borders Mark my words they'll be locking up their daughters And they'll all be singing, they'll all be singing Oh oh oh my god oh oh it's Michael Dawson If you're losing sleep in Aberdeen, I'm only a phone call away We'll find comfort in the memories, that I'll relay Those were the days Those were the days we'll say Those were the days Those were the days we'll say Those were the days Those were the days we'll say Those were the days
