Lyrics Barry White

Barry White

Early Years

"As I look back on the days that's gone by, I can't help but to think:

"What would I have done different than I did at that time?"

And you know, what conclusion I come to is...

The conclusion I come to is: I would've done it just like I did it

There was days of joy, and happiness, and sadness, and madness...

The normal, the normal way of life

And as I, as I sit here reminiscing through my years, I...

Can't help but to feel a little sad inside

Because those days are gone, forever and ever, and ever, and ever..."

Yesterday we were so unafraid

But now we need some time to slip away

As we drift in our memories of all the joys and tears

Tasting vintage wine of early years

We sit and watch our life go passing by

And remember things we did, and wonder why

Looking through the misty clouds at days we had no fears

But that was long ago in early years

Time has gone by

Time from our lives

Those early years of time, gone by

Those early years, gone from our lives

From our lives, from our lives, our lives...

Well, well, well...

To appreciate your life, one has to know

Know the things it takes to keep your heart aglow

Keep your mind refreshed with thoughts of things we hold so near

Treasures from our lives in early years
