Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La-la-la la-i-la la-la-i la-li-la,
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
It's so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It's so easy to pledge yourself
When you cannot pay
It's so easy to tell yourself
Things'll work out fine
It's so easy to break a heart
Like you're breaking mine
♪Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
The shavin' razor's cold and it stings.
♪What's the time?
Where's the place?
Why the line?
Where's the race?
Just in time, I see your face
Toujours gai, mon cher
You are the star
that greets the sun
Shine across my distant sky
when night is done
You'll be the moon to light my way
Toujours gai, mon cher
It's not too late to start again
It's not too late
though when you go away
the skies will grey again
In the time that remains,
I will stay
Toujours gai, mon cher
No regrets
for the light that will not shine
No regrets,
but don't forget, the flame was mine
and in another place, in another time
Toujours gai, mon cher
It's not too late to start again
It's not too late
though when you go away
the skies will grey again
In the time that remains,
I will stay
Toujours gai, mon cher
Halfway measures go unsung
Take your pleasures while you're young
Just remember, when they're done,
Toujours gai, mon cher
