Queen Talks

"I was very pleased with that. That's the first take I recorded, and Roger said, 'Well...' And I said, 'Just leave it there for a while and let it sit. See if it grows on you.' I had a feeling about it. I really prefer it. We could've done a cut-and-dried solo which, on the face of it, would've been more dramatic, but that was where I wanted to go."

Brian May - August 1991, Guitar World

Lyrics

Sometimes I get to feeling
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Thing seemed so perfect, you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shining, we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you

You can't turn back the clock you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinking on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow

Because these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives, yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find
I still love you

I still love you
