SINGER RECALLS STAGES OF LIFE, AND WISHES THEY COULD BE RELIVED

Lyrics

LIVE THOSE DAYS AGAIN

HAPPY DAYS, GROWIN' UP AS A YOUNG CHILD;
TOY TRUCKS PILED UP IN THE SANDPILE;
PLAYIN' COPS AN' ROBBERS WITH MY FRIENDS;
MAMA CALLIN', "SUPPER, COME ON IN";
SATURDAY FISHIN' WITH MY DAD;
HERE'S A PHOTO WITH A STRINGER FULLA' PERCH;
SUNDAY MORNIN' WARNIN', "BETTER WASH BEHIND THOSE EARS;
YA' GOTTA' LOOK PRESENTABLE FOR CHURCH";

(CHORUS):
I WISH I COULD LIVE THOSE DAYS AGAIN;
LIFE WAS SO MUCH EASIER THEN;
BUT LIFE MOVES ON.... THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS ARE GONE;
AN' THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO BRING THOSE DAYS BACK AGAIN.

HOW I LOVED PLAYIN' FOOTBALL BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL;
AN' THE CONFERENCE TROPHY ALWAYS WENT TO MY SCHOOL;
THAT LITTLE BLUE EYED GIRL TURNED ME ON,
AS WE DANCED AT THE SENIOR PROM;
REMEMBERIN' HOW WE TALKED ABOUT TOMORROW;
GIVIN' NAMES TO ALL OUR FUTURE KIDS;
AN' THE PROMISES WE MADE ON GRADUATION DAY;
HOW WE'D BUILD ON THOSE CRAZY THINGS WE DID.

(CHORUS): OH TO LIVE THOSE DAYS AGAIN....

BRIDGE:
THEN CAME COLLEGE DAYS; PARTING WAYS; LOSIN' TOUCH ON HOLIDAYS
DISCOVERIN' OTHER LOVERS AN' FRIENDS;
AN' WE BOTH REALIZED, IT WAS RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES,
THE LOVE WE VOWED FOREVER ... WOULD END;

(CHORUS): BUT I WISH I COULD LIVE THOSE DAYS AGAIN....

TAG: THERE'S JUST NO WAY TO BRING THOSE DAYS BACK AGAIN;
NO, THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO BRING THOSE DAYS BACK AGAIN;
