The Other Day Lyrics

The other day when I was young

We sat and ate and drank and sung

Of years gone by and dreams gone cold

And of the day we must grow old

My friend, said I, away let's fly

My friend, let's fly away

But you were gone, and like the dawn

You faded into day

So the time does pass me by

Years and years and still I try

To hold the tears we all must cry

To ease our growing pains

So the time does pass me by

Years and years and still I try

To hold on tighter, you reply

You cannot stop the rain

So the time does pass me by

Years and years and still I try

To hold the tears we all must cry

To ease our growing pains

So the time does pass me by

Years and years and still I try

To hold on tighter, you reply

You cannot stop the rain

The other day when I was young

We sat and ate and drank and sung

Of years gone by and dreams gone cold

And of the day we must grow old

My friend, said I, away let's fly

My friend, let's fly away

But you were gone, and like the dawn

You faded into day

You were gone, and like the dawn

You faded into day
