lyrics

Those Were the Days

Introduction (Da Groove, the vamp,etc.)

Verse 1:

Sitting in the sun ☀️
Playing with the rocks in my front yard___
Those were the days
Pointing out at all the cars passing by

And my
Granny is cooking, some red beans and rice 🍛
Uncle Kenny’s training, he’s passing me by 🏃
Papa 👴 is hollin’ Ru-da change the tv 📺 for me__

These things I still can see (back to the groove)

Verse 2:

Catching the bus 🚌
Me and my cousin headed to school
Those were the days
Before life gave us the news__

She said
It won’t be easy to let all this go
Some of these people you won’t see no mo___
These precious moments you should cherish in your heart ❤️

Bridge :

I see trees with brown leaves
Falling on the ground all around I hear sounds that I know_

And your grin it comforts me, it makes me smile when I see
A memory of your sweet love ❤️

You are my family my destiny will always be
tied up in the memories of our souls

Oh____________ Oh__oh__ oh__ oh____

(Groove)

Hey- e - ah____ Hey- e - ah____

Verse 3:

Passing the ball 🏈
Jumping at everything you through__
Those were the days
Trying to do everything you do__

(Groove)

Hey- e - ah____ Hey- e - ah____ (2x)

Ad libs :

Hey_____

Playing dominos to the early morning light 💡 that’s what we did__
Those were the days oh____ we did___

(Groove out]
