Nana Mouskouri - Where Did They Go lyrics

I remember dancing to the velvet summer nights

Stars that softly flickered through a thousand colored lights

Sitting patiently until the sun began to rise

When morning turned our laughter to good byes

(Refrain)

Where did they go, all the good times

And the flowers and the wine

The young men who held me

All the lovers who were mine

Where did they go, all the sweet years

Filled with laughter ev'ry day

When time went on forever

Oh, when did they slip away

Driving through the midnight streets in gently falling rain

A man might offer everything except, of course, his name

Leaning close he'd whisper how his love would never die

Till once again the morning meant goodbye

(Refrain)

Now it's time to light another candle on the cake

Join me in a glass of wine, if just for old time's sake

We'll drink to all our wishes now, wherever they may be

If one or two come true just think of me

(Refrain)
