Baby, Those Were the Days I Still Want

Those were the days,this the life I made I drank too damn much and stayed away Life so fast,wild and filled with pretty girls Sexy bodies, pretty faces and long curls! I smashed your memory into hard pieces Sold my broken heart for short leases Drinking my pain until it took me down Raised holy hell all over this old town! Baby, those were the days I still want Still miss you but know that you don't Every damn night burn your memory down Mornings wake to find me still a clown! You were my life and my greatest history Your heart and love are still a mystery Darling,we were the moon and the stars Now I drink and close out the late bars! Baby,you were the blue sky,the cat's meow Want you back but simply don't know how I died just to put that wrong life far away And in these memories have my heart's say! Gone forever are those much wanted days My cries hurt so but this pain never pays I put your sweet heart and mine out of play Sad memories serve to hold my heart at bay! Those were the days, this the life I made I drank too damn much and stayed away Life so fast,wild and filled with pretty girls Sexy bodies, pretty faces and long curls! Robert J.
