I look around and I know that everyone in here
Has felt the warmth of Dawson
I look around and I know that we´ll be cold and full of disappointment
When he goes away

It´s so hard just to say goodbye
If I could open up I think I just might cry
´Cause I´m losing my best friend
Feels like I´m losing both my arms
I don´t want you to go, but I know you have to

If you´re losing sleep in Aberdeen
I´m only a phone call away
You´ll find comfort in the memories
That I´ll relay
Those were the days
Those were the days we´ll say
Those were the days
Those were the days we´ll say
Those were the days

Now listen carefully I need you to live by these words
Let it circulate through your veins
Head up, chest out now

And after all this important guy
I think its finally my turn to give you some important advice
Now you´re not scared but you will be when you´re lonely
And I´ll be there in a blink of an eye
Any time of the night when you need some conversation
I´m you´re main man

And you know you can always count on me to be awake at 3
And I´ll probably be thinking about the same old shit that you see
And if it wasn´t for this gentle bear I don´t think I´d be here
I can barely speak through tears ´cause when I´m low who can lift me?

Oh I don´t know upon a guess
I say he´s got a gift
´Cause he can always shift time and make it swift
Turn a heart ache into milkshake,
Turn a bad taste into a sweet taste

That´s why I don´t want you to go, but I know you have to

If you´re losing sleep in Aberdeen
I´m only a phone call away
You´ll find comfort in the memories
That I´ll relay
Those were the days
Those were the days we´ll say
Those were the days
Those were the days we´ll say
Those were the days

Even though you´ve got a million best friends
I don´t want the label I just want your presence
And these words on my wrist will apply till the end,

I see you as a brother just as much as a best friend
So I will fight the deeper urge to say "Come home"
´Cause I know you have to go, I know you have to go

And when you cross those Scottish borders
Mark my words they´ll be locking up their daughters
And they´ll all be singing, they´ll all be singing

Oh oh oh my god oh oh it´s Michael Dawson [x12]

If you´re losing sleep in Aberdeen, I´m only a phone call away
We´ll find comfort in the memories, that I´ll relay
Those were the days
Those were the days we´ll say
Those were the days
Those were the days we´ll say
Those were the days
Those were the days we´ll say
Those were the days
