The Zombies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is like the warmth of the sun
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
don't let go of my hand
Now darkness has gone
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
and I won't forget
The way you held me up when I was down
And I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
The warmth of your smile
Smile for me, little one
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
You don't have to worry
All your worried days are gone
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
and I won't forget
The way you held me up when I was down
And I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
Yeah we only just begun
Yeah this will be our year
Took a long time to come

After seeing the commercial multiple times. I finally decided to identify the song now, and am pleasantly surprised to find it's The Zombies. In fact, I was just thinking of the 'Odyssey And Oracle" album this morning!

Couldn't agree more. First heard it in a TV commercial a bit over a year ago, and fell in love. That's how I found the Zombies.
