We never know how good it was until our time runs out Longing for this perfect moment long ago Would you believe me if I told you now That this feels almost good to be true. Summer nights, morning lights Fading in and fading out They sweep away without a sound I hope we realize In fifty years or so When we're grey and old That these were our golden years Let's keep this moment in our heart Life's one hell of a ride And these are the golden years These are the golden years And there will be the day when we will miss this all The day when all this glitter turns to dust. Fearsly looking if there's more to come Keep the sparkle growing deep inside of us Getting close for the parts Moving in and moving out We sweep away without a sound I hope we realize In fifty years or so When we're grey and old These were our golden years Let's keep this moment in our heart (?) Life's one hell of a ride And these are the golden years These are the golden years Paint me black, paint me white Take me in, take me out Raise your bets, do or die No regrets, it's your life We sweep away without a souhnd ... without a sound (These are the golden years) And we realize In fifty years or so When we're grey and old That these were our golden years Let's keep this moment in our heart Life's one hell of a ride And these are the golden years These are the golden years (These are the golden years) (These are the golden years) These are the golden years.
