The Best Days of My Life

Glancing through the book of my life
I get stuck in the year sixty-five
Long long hair - free from care
I fell in love at first sight
And we sang in trance:
"give peace a chance"
We knew it all so well

While the Rolling Stones
Couldn't get satisfaction
And we wore white flowers in our hair
And the Vietnam War carried
Death and destruction
We were there, in sixty-five
After all those were the best days of my life
Stop the war and ban the bomb
San Francisco, here I come
Che Guevarra on every wall there's
So much to recall and we sang in trance:
"give peace a chance"
We knew it all so well

While the Rolling Stones
Couldn't get satisfaction
And we wore white flowers in our hair
And the Vietnam War carried
Death and destruction
We were there, in sixty-five
After all those were the best days of my life

Yes we really thought: we'd change the world
Look around - you'll see it ain't true

And the Vietnam War on the eve of destruction
We survived, sixty-five
Yes those really were the best
Days of my life
Yes those really were the best
Days of my life
