The Golden Years

Woo, ooh

Time stopped movin' the minute I saw ya

You took my Taylor guitar in the city of stars and you made it your own

Late night, oh, how I'm missin' those brown eyes

Funny, I'd rather be fightin' with you than alone in the city we knew

Four years gone by in the blink of an eye

We were young till we weren't, it was fun till it hurt

Now I'm terrified that I'll never find love like yours

If I would've known those were the golden years

I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears

If I would've known those were the golden years

I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear

'Cause those were the golden years (Woo, ooh)

Those were the golden years (Woo, ooh)

I left you under the cherry tree that June

Back at the place where I told you that I loved you way too soon

Lately, I stare at the pictures you gave me

I can't help wonderin' if you ever stare back at them, too

If I would've known those were the golden years

I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears

If I would've known those were the golden years

I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear

'Cause those were the golden years

So dance with me under the cherry tree, darlin'

We'll act like we're still young and free (Mmm)

'Cause I'm still in love with the story of us

We were young, but our love, it was real

If I would've known those were the golden years

I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears

If I would've known those were the golden years

I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear

'Cause those were the golden years (Woo, ooh)

Those were the golden years (Woo, ooh)

'Cause those were the golden years
