Those Canaan Days by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Those Canaan Days lyrics
Do you remember the good years in Canaan?
The summers were endlessly gold
The fields were a patchwork of clover
The winters were never too cold
We'd stroll down the boulevards together
And everything round us was fine
Now the fields are dead and bare
No joie de vivre anywhere
Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days
Do you remember those wonderful parties?
The splendor of Canaan's cuisine
Our extravagant, elegant soirees
The gayest the Bible has seen
It's funny but since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
No one comes to dinner now, we'd only eat them anyhow
I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days
It's funny but since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
Perhaps we all misjudged the lad
Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad
And how we miss his entertaining dreams
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days
Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days
