How do you know, do you know that the good days are now While you're living them out? Someone's off in the corner Pitching a fire all on their own Someone's calling their friends While you're missing them, and they're so far from home All the lads in the corner Singing to daughters and dancing around Half a Jack on the table 'Cause no one's been able to drink it all down Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times So, how do you know, do you know that the good days arе now While you're living them out? And how do you know, do you know That thе ones that you're living Are the ones you'll be missing? Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times So, how do you know, do you know That the good days are now While you're living them out right now? La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la One lost touch in the summer Moved to the suburbs, probably settled down I'm not sure 'bout the others One lost his brother, and one moves around I still think of that night Did we have it all right? Still, we all searched for more So now, when I sit 'round the table I wish we were able to sing it like before Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times So, how do you know, do you know that the good days are now While you're living them out? And how do you know, do you know That the ones that you're living Are the ones you'll be missing? Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times Well, we don't know the words, but we're singing 'Cause these are the times Right now La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la All that's left is the photo I don't even know who took it back then Who'd have thought in the moment That I'd get to hold all that's left in the end?

All I see is all to see Stubborn mind in front of me If you want I'll go away I'll be here some other day How do you know you? And I don't feel you now And I don't see you now And I don't hear you now And I don't know you now How do you know you? You, yes, I've kept the news from you You, yes it's all in your mind All I see is all to see Nothing taking over me How do you know you?

Do you see it? I've been hiding it Don't think our eyes met Do you feel it? I have kept it in Deep inside my skin How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? Do you see it? Every word you've said Running through my head Hesitating, should I let you in? Start over again? How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? Do you see it? I've been hiding it Don't think our eyes met How do you know? How do you know? How do you know? How do you know?

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody Haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale Tells his fairytale Of paradise, where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain.
