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
