Far far and away the best days
Of our life we still recall
Nothing to say anyway
All we used to do was
Fall in the waterfall
Float away and never care at all
Time time and again we would end
This affair that we’d begun
Only intend to be friends
All we used to do was
Run where the rivers run
Hide on the mountainside
Burn in the summer sun
Ride on the ebbing tide all right
Say what I should be saying
Feel what I could be feeling
Stay where I should be staying
Here when I could be far away
Up up and away, never stay
In a life of childhood games
Never betray yesterday
In another world I’m
Saving myself for you
Though I see you everywhere
However old it’s always new
However long I’ll still be there oh yeah
Years after the years we were here
We return each summertime
Shedding our fears and our tears
Fall like cherry blossom
We’ve come far from where we started
Seems like only yesterday
Feels as though we’d never parted
Only waiting till you say okay
Say what I should be saying
Feel what I could be feeling
Stay where I should be staying
Here when I could be far away
Say what I should be saying
Feel what I could be feeling
Stay where I should be staying
Here when I could be far away and away and away and away …
