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 fighting 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
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 wondering 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
Those were the golden years
So dance with me under the cherry tree darling
We’ll act like we’re still young and free
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
Those were the golden years
Those were the golden years
Those were the golden years
