| Another time it might have been so different | |
| Oh, if only we could do it all again | |
| But now it's just another fading memory | |
| Out of focus, though the outline still remains | |
| Far away, away, fading distant lights | |
| Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world | |
| And you'll know that these are the days of our lives, remember | |
| Like the story that we wish was never ending | |
| We know sometime we must reach the final page | |
| Still we carry on just pretending | |
| That there'll always be one more day to go | |
| Far away, away, fading distant lights | |
| Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world | |
| And you'll know that these are the days of our lives, so remember | |
| Another chance hello, another goodbye | |
| And so many things we'll never see again | |
| Days of life that seemed so unimportant | |
| They seem to matter and to count much later on | |
| Far away, away, fading distant lights | |
| Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world | |
| And you'll know that these are the days of our lives, remember |
