One, two, three, four,
Five years go by
I don't really know why
I don't really know why
Seven, eight, nine,
Eleven years go by
I don't really know why
I don't really know why
I still, feel the same
Way I did when I was seventeen
I still, look over my should-er
Waiting for the world to change
But these are the good old day-ays
These are the good old day-ay-ays
These are the good old days
And I think I'd like to stay
Oh, I'd like to stay
Oh, I'd like to stay
One, two, three, four,
Five years ago,
I didn't see a belly
With a child on the inside
Six, seven, eight,
Ten years ago,
I thought I knew about love
I only knew about the fight
I look back and I realize
All those times I was lonely
Praying for, someday to hur-ry up
And come and save me
But these are the good old day-ays
These are the good old day-ay-ays
These are the good old days
And I wish that I could stay
I wish that I could stay!
I wish I could stay!
(These are the good old days)
That I could stay!
(These are the good old days)
And the moment you let go
The faster the time goes
The darker the night is
The lighter the moon glows
These are the good old day-ays
These are the good old day-ay-ays
One, two, three, four,
Five years from now,
I hope I'm still gettin' down
Hope I'm still around
But six, seven, eight,
Ten beers ago,
I had a revelation,
All's well right now
It's all good right now
It's all good right now
It's all good right now!
But these are the good old day-ays
(Good old days)
These are the good old day-ay-ays
(These are the good old days)
These are the good old days
(Good old days)
And I wish that I could stay
These are the good old day-ays
(Good old days)
These are the good old day-ay-ays
(These are the good old days)
These are the good old day-ays
(Good old days)
I wish that I could stay
These are the good old day-ays
(Good old days)
These are the good old day-ay-ays
(These are the good old days)
These are the good old days
(Good old days)
And I wish that I could stay
I wish that I could stay
And I wish that I could stay
(These are the good old day-ays)
And I wish that I could stay
(These are the good old day-ays)
These are the good old days, yeah
(These are the good old day-ays)
These are the good old days, yeah
(These are the good old day-ays)
These are the good old days, yeah
(These are the good old day-ays)
