It was 1948 like a Hollywood scene Everybody on the dole tryin’ to live a little dream
And it was 1959 in the difficult times We were laughing at the day, singin’ songs and blowin’ minds
Oh la dah n dah dah n dahdah n day now I don't want to love you but you got me anyway Oh la dah n dah dah n dahdah n day now I don't want to love you but you got me anyway
All the things I've done and the places I've been, every hour lasts a day, every day another dream All the things that I've said never meaning to say, All the times I've been in love, never wanting to stay
Oh la dah n dah dah n dahdah n day now I don't want to love you but you got me anyway Oh la dah n dah dah n dahdah n day now I don't want to love you but you got me anyway Oh hooo
Then I get so lonely every night in my sleep With a terrible feeling there's no one around to help me
Carry on carry on till the end till the end Looking hard at the sun for a better friend Never die, never die as the years go by Cause may life go on, yeah, life goes on
