Tomas Fornstedt - Those Were the Days Lyrics

Many years ago when I was a kid
I had a band together with my buddies
I started off with keys, then I played guitar
And later on I was banging on the drumset
Wish I was sixteen again
Just for a day or maybe ten
Those were the days of my life
I've never felt so much alive
Those were the days
Teen years were easy without demands
And every night my mother made me dinner
All nights were off and I did what I want
Oh, that never happens to me these days
Wish I was sixteen again
Just for a day or maybe ten
Those were the days of my life
I've never felt so much alive
Those were the days
Time went by and now I'm getting old
And I'm trying to pass this on to my kids
"You need to live your lives while you're young"
But they don't understand what I'm saying
Wish I was sixteen again
Just for a day or maybe ten
Those were the days of my life
I've never felt so much alive
When I look back at those years long ago
I can't help it but I feel alone
I just wish that all my old friends were here
We could go somewhere and grab a beer
I would tell them that I want this to last
They would tell me it's a thing of the past
It is time for me to blow off some steam
I'm not sure but maybe all is a dream
Wish I was sixteen again
Just for a day or maybe ten
Those were the days of my life
I've never felt so much alive
Wish I was sixteen again
Just for a day or maybe ten
Those were the days of my life
I've never felt so much alive
