I’ve been counting out the cost of what I’ve gained and what I’ve lost
Through the years of playing these games
And still it pains me to think what will be left in the end
Will the memories still remain

‘Cause there were these moments, yes that’s right
When we had a grip on life and there were the days of endless summers and the nights
And there were those dreams we almost had and the one that turned out bad
What a time we had in the days before yesterday

The pictures in the frames of good friends are all that remain
Of a lifetime of laughter, well spent
And still it pains me to think what will be left in the end
Will the memories still remain

‘Cause there were these moments, yes that’s right
When we had a grip on life and there were the days of endless summers and the nights
And there were those dreams we almost had and the one that turned out bad
What a time we had in the days before yesterday

And there were those dreams we almost had and the one that turned out bad
What a time we had in the days before yesterday

What a time we had in the days before yesterday
