George Michael and Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know ?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were young
The sun was always shinin' - 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
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 ?
Ooh, I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinkin' 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
'Cos 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
The song "These Are the Days of Our Lives" by George Michael and Queen is a nostalgic reflection on the beauty and simplicity of youth. The first few lines of the song express a feeling of being transported back to the past - a time when everything seemed perfect and never-ending. It is a reflection on the carefree nature of childhood where they lived just for the fun of it. The song's lyrics lead to a contrast between the glorious past and the mundane and rather unsatisfactory present, and the realization that time flies too quickly. The theme of the song is about cherishing the memories of the past and acknowledging that life goes on.
The chorus echoes the sentiment of the song, emphasizing how good things were in the past and how the bad things were so few in comparison. The lyrics also convey the idea that time moves swiftly, and we cannot change the past, and we should not despair at our present circumstances. We should enjoy life and go with the flow. The song ends on a positive note, admitting that even if all those childhood days are gone, the love that was shared during those times remains.
Overall, "These Are the Days of Our Lives" is a poignant reminder to appreciate and value the moments that we have with our loved ones and never take them for granted.

@Skilletfan
I just read something by a close friend of his that confirmed that very thing. That last "I still love you" that he whispered at the end of the song was for the fans.
