Those Canaan Days

Do you remember the good year's
In Canaan the summer we're endlessly gold the fields
weree a patchwork of clover the winters we're never too cold
Wed stroll down the boulevards together
And everything round us was fine
Now the fields we're dead and bare
No koie de vivre anywhere
Et Maintenantwe 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 the splendour
of Canaan 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 only eat them anyhow
I even find I'm miss g Joseph's dreams
It's funny but since we lost Joseph
We've gone to other extreme
Perhaps we all misjudged the lad
Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad
And how we miss his entertaining dreams
