Analysis of Those were the days



Those were the days
Which we use to share,
For each other's care
Those were the days.
Laughing and crying
On those silly little things,
Making me feel good, the whole day
By wiping my tears away.
Please hold on to me,
Don't let me go
I don't need anything,
Still I love you so.
