Those Were the Days

You've got to get the worst sometimes
The trouble's when it happens daily
You're fighting just to hold the line
You're fighting for your mother's baby
And 'everything will be alright' your mother used to say
As she turned out the lights
Those were the days
When everything that's done was done
In moments that were gone too quickly
If the past is truly gone, how did it come back to get me?
I never knew you
So, now it's time to say goodbye
At the bottom of the page
At the bottom, what a sight
Pity it cannot be changed
And 'everything will be alright' his mother used to say
As she tucked him in at night
Those were the days
