Time stopped movin'
the minute I saw you
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
'til we weren't
It was fun 'til 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 woo
Those were
the golden years
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 woo
Those were the golden years
Those were the golden years
