Well, they were the golden days, they were our best
The sky was painted in a shade of tawny red
The leaves were fallin', the birds all flew the nest

You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had

Well, maybe we were meant to last a lifetime
Maybe you were only ever passin' by
It's hard to think about you now in a new life
So I watch you fade into the black

You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had

Give me some time, I'll wash out my tears
I will recover, I will revere
And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear
I will remember you, always remember you
For the good years

But now the tapestry is splitting at the seams
And I watch the river take you to the sea
And all the cars are slowly running down by cheeks
We were golden, now we're fadin' into black

You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I had

Give me some time, I'll wash out my tears
I will recover, I will revere
And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear
I will remember you, always remember you
For the good years

Does it break your heart like mine?
Does it take you back in time?
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I knew
And I miss you
Does it break your heart like mine?
Does it take you back in time?
You were someone that I had
You were someone that I knew
And I miss you

Give me some time, I'll wash out my tears
I will recover, I will revere
And I know it hurts, but I will hold them dear
I will remember you, always remember you
For the good years

Oh, they were the golden days, they were our best
The sky was painted in a shade of tawny red
