Paroles Days gone by Van Morrison

Days gone by

Well I know I said that so long ago
I would not say it now
But I didn't know what I said would stick like glue
What I said in the days gone by

Well they tried to stitch me up
With so many words I said, I said so long ago
Bet we were all so young and foolish then
Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow

For the days of Auld Lang Syne, my love
For the days of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

And hopefully we will, hopefully we will keep on growing and growing
Baby, baby, baby, baby till we reach the sky
If I ever reach my limit yet
Well I'm gonna surely, gonna surely have to try, have to try

For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

Well I feel so, feel so sorry for the ones who lead
For to lead, they wanna lead such a perfect life
Sweep underneath everything, sweep everything underneath the rug
And they're never free from conflict, from conflict and strife

Because they perpetuate, perpetuate some kind of lie, my love
Perpetuate, perpetuate the lie
But everything I'm doin', everything I'm doin' I had to fight for it
Had to fight for it in the days, in the days gone by

There is no easy, no easy way out, my friend
You gotta get used to it, used to it somehow
Everything you've got in your life, right up 'til now
Somebody had to fight for it
You had to fight for it in the days gone by

Well, go walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' up the hillside now
Where there heather, where there heather, where there heather's growing so wild
Then I'm gonna carry my child, carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river
'Cross the river for the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

For the days gone by, my dear
For the days, for the days gone by
I wanna share a cup, share a cup of kindness with you
For the sake, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne

For Auld, for Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For the sake, for the sake, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river
Gonna keep on walkin', keep on walkin', walkin' in the days
In the days of Auld Lang Syne

Have mercy now
Have mercy now
Have mercy
Have mercy now

Gonna keep on keepin' on
Keep on keepin' on
Keep on keepin' on
Keep on keepin' on
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

Everything I have in my life right now
I had to fight, had to fight for it somehow
Gotta keep on fighting, keep on fighting, fighting today
Fighting today for the sake of the days gone by

For old acquaintance be forgot
And never never never brought to mind
I wanna drink a cup, drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne

For the sake, for the days gone by, ny love
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink, I wanna share, share a cup of kindness
For the sake of the days gone by
