Those Were the Days
Purple Rain Movie, just a first date
Didn't make the movie 'cuz we were runnin' too late
But something so special happened anyway
And we can both remember to this day
We were so young and didn't know it yet
But what we had was destined to be great
We had ups and downs but our love didn't change
And sure, we were on and off during that young phase
It was a different time and a different place
But I wouldn't change a single thing
Def Leppard, Bon Jovi on the radio
We didn't care we had no other place to go
We just sat the table just having good times
And when we ever got the chance to go
The arcade was the center of the world for sure
Those were the days, yeah those were the days
We had it all, we just didn't know it then
Sometimes I wish I could visit that time again
Our young love was such a sweet gift to us
We were too young to know any better yet
Maybe we were crazy but I wouldn't change a thing
We were everything to each other then
It was a different time and a different place
But I wouldn't change a single thing
Def Leppard, Bon Jovi on the radio
We didn't care we had no other place to go
We just sat the table just having good times
And when we ever got the chance to go
The arcade was the center of the world for sure
Those were the days, yeah those were the days
Now fast forward to the future and it's today
Def Leppard, Bon Jovi on the radio, hey
We didn't care we had no other place to go
It wasn't perfect but it was perfect, don't ya say
Def Leppard, Bon Jovi on the radio
We didn't care we had no other place to go
We just sat the table just having good times
And when we ever got the chance to go
The arcade was the center of the world for sure
Those were the days, yeah those were the days
Those were the days, yeah those were the days yeah, yeah, yeah
Those were the days, those were the days, those were the days
Didn't make the movie 'cuz we were runnin' too late
But something so special happened anyway
And we can both remember to this day
We were so young and didn't know it yet
But what we had was destined to be great
We had ups and downs but our love didn't change
And sure, we were on and off during that young phase
It was a different time and a different place
But I wouldn't change a single thing
Def Leppard, Bon Jovi on the radio
We didn't care we had no other place to go
We just sat the table just having good times
And when we ever got the chance to go
The arcade was the center of the world for sure
Those were the days, yeah those were the days
We had it all, we just didn't know it then
Sometimes I wish I could visit that time again
Our young love was such a sweet gift to us

Those were the days, yeah those were the days
Those were the days, yeah those were the days yeah, yeah, yeah
Those were the days, those were the days, those were the days
