Gone Are The Days

One day I woke to find
That every day was a struggle to survive
Life had made a man of me
Now all I see is responsibility
I was doing fine
But it snuck up from behind
Time to wake up and face up
Start living my life like a grown-up

I long for the days
When my life was easy, easy to please me
I long for the days
When I wasn't stressed out, I was just hanging out
I long for the days
All the simple times, not much on my mind
I long, long for the days

One day I woke to see
That everyone would expect so much from me
Wave goodbye to sleeping in
Say hello and get up for work again
I was doing fine
But it snuck up from behind
Now I understand there's a master plan
Making me live my life like a grown man

I long for the days
When my life was easy, easy to please me
I long for the days
When I wasn't stressed out, I was just hanging out
I long for the days
All the simple times, not much on my mind
I long, long for the days

And I long for the funner times
And I long for the summer times
And the winter time's gone by

I long for the days
When my life was easy, easy to please me
I long for the days
When I wasn't stressed out, I was just hanging out
I long for the days
All the simple times, not much on my mind
I long, long for the days
I long for the days
When my life was easy, easy to please me
I long for the days
When I wasn't stressed out, I was just hanging out
I long for the days
All the simple times, not much on my mind
I long, long for the days

Said I, I long for the days
Said I, I long for the days
