Songtexte Those Canaan Days - Andrew Lloyd Webber feat. Riggs O'Hara, Gordon Waller, Alex McAvoy & "Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" 1973 London Cast

Do you remember the good years in Canaan
The summers were endlessly gold
The fields were a patchwork of clover
The winters were never too cold
We strolled down the boulevards together
And everything around us was fine
Now the fields are dead and bare
No joie de vivre anywhere
And maintenant we drink a bitter wine

Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days

Do you remember those wonderful parties, oh
The splendors of Canaan's cuisine
Our extravagant, elegant soirees
The gayest the Bible has seen
It's funny, but since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
No one comes to dinner now
We don't eat the menu
I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams

Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days

It's funny, but since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
Perhaps we all misjudged the lad
Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad
Now we miss his entertaining dreams

Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days
