The Days of Being Young and Free Lyrics by Amy MacDonald

Life in a Beautiful Light

2012

[Verse 1]
Listen to my heart as it beats for you
And it's telling you the things
That I never could
And it's laying it down on the line for you
[Verse 2]
And the years are catching up, I can see it on your face
And the days of being young and free
Are left there with the memories
That blow in the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can feel it coming when the Monday morning blues
They last all through the week, I feel it on Sunday too
And I can feel it coming when my knees feel weak
And I cannot speak the truth
[Chorus]
The days of being young, the days of being free
They're etched upon my face in every line that you see
The stories I could tell, the lies I told as well
What I wouldn't give to live it all again
[Verse 3]
The years are passing by every single day
Where did they go
Did you take them all away
Now I'm older and grey
[Verse 4]
And their children they all left, they fled the family nest
And now we're all alone
The house don't feel like home
Anymore, anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can feel it coming when the Monday morning blues
They last all through the week, I feel it on Sunday too
And I can feel it coming when my knees feel weak
And I cannot speak the truth
[Chorus]
The days of being young, the days of being free
They're etched upon my face in every line that you see
The stories I could tell, the lies I told as well
What I wouldn't give to live it all again
[Outro]
And in my baby's eyes, I lived it all again
The fear, the surprise, everything
In my baby's eyes, I lived it all again
And I wouldn't change anything
And in my baby's eyes, I lived it all again
And I wouldn't change anything
