Meeting you in the park and talking in the pouring rain

	(Oh what a time we had)

	Running home in the dark and pretending it was all a game

	(Oh what a time)

	Those were the days, those were the days



	Memories of you have really left a scar

	And all that I can do now is to love you from afar

	'Cos everything was fine

	That once upon a time



	Asking you if you'd stay, not believing that you might

	(Oh what a time we had)

	Missing you through the day, dreaming of you through the night

	(Oh what a time)

	Those were the days, those were the days



	Though there's no denying that you're nowhere around

	I can't help myself from looking for your face amongst the crowd

	'Cos everything was fine, that once upon a time



	Have to leave the past behind me and get on the right track

	Though there's nothing I can say that will ever bring you back

	But everything was fine, that once upon a time



	I wish I knew for how much longer this misery will last

	Can't control these feelings, I'm still living in the past

	'Cos everything  was fine, that once upon a time

	I've got to build my life again, try to find somebody new

	But I know inside my heart of hearts there'll be no replacing you

	But everything was fine, that once upon a time
