Sweetest Days Lyrics by Hil St. Soul

Black Rose

2008

[Verse 1]
I'm here sittin' on the 8:45
Patiently watchin' as the world goes by
Got my mind driftin' to a past so good
When we were chillin' in the neighbourhood-hood
Folks were gettin' high, high on life
Everything around seemed just fine
Streets felt safe, so we played till our curfew
In the words of Stevie, what happened to the world we knew?
[Chorus]
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Those were the sweetest days
We were exchangin' dreams and makin' plans together
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Those were the sweetest days
How I pray the magic lasts forever
[Verse 2]
Saturday, in the afternoon
And we were chillin' in the garden, cookin' up a barbecue
The sun was hot, so we find our spot out in the shade
While we were sippin' on lemonade
The air smelt sweet as we lay beneath the trees
Shootin' the breeze, catchin' some Z's
And the summer sound still resonates around
Around in my mind, yeah, those were the times
We were young and we were free
[Chorus]
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Those were the sweetest days
We were exchangin' dreams and makin' plans together
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Those were the sweetest days
How I pray the magic lasts forever
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Those were the sweetest days
We were exchangin' dreams and makin' plans together
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Those were the sweetest days
Now I pray the magic lasts forever
[Bridge]
(Those were the days, were the days)
(The sweetest days, sweetest days)
There was no Nintendo or computer games
But a natural interaction with your friends
(Those were the days, were the days)
(The sweetest days, sweetest days)
Things back then were simple, the fun was innocent
Yeah, those were the sweetest days
[Chorus]
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Those were the sweetest days
We were exchangin' dreams and makin' plans together
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Those were the sweetest days
How I pray the magic lasts forever
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Kick off our shoes, make daisy chains
Run down the hill and stargaze, oh, yeah
(Those were, oh, the sweetest days)
Fell out of trees, get our knees grazed
And we'll play and we'll play all day
[Instrumental Outro]
