Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa-whoa-oh
We lived in a time and a world of our own
Making up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We will never gonna get old now
Playin' cards 'till the sun came up, rollin' dice
Go on down to the club and listen to the blues all night
You know, the girls out on the corner get lonely now and then
We'd never be that free again, no
It's been a long time since we laughed together
Been a long time since we cried, yeah
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long, long time, yeah
Workin' just enough, just enough to pay a little rent, babe
You know what? Money got made, baby, and money got spent
Sleeping when we had nothin' better to do
Under the boardwalk and up on the roof, yeah
We never quite fit and we never ever played the game
Came out crawling like a runaway train
You know we'd be up all night talkin' about dreams of better days
Ain't it funny how some things don't change
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried, since we cried
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been, it's been a long, long, long time, yeah
Yeah
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh
Yeah
We lived in a time and a world of our own
Makin' up the rules as we went along
Just one coat between us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna get old
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried, since we cried
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long, long, oh
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long, long time, whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, (yeah!)
It's been a long, long time (whoa-whoa-oh-whoa)
Yes it has, yes it has (whoa-whoa-oh-whoa)
Raise your - (whoa-whoa-oh-whoa)
You can raise your glass, darling (whoa-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa (yeah)
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried (I know it has, darling)
Raise your glass to the comrades we've lost
My friend it's been a long, long time, yeah-yeah-yeah
It's been a long time (it's been a long time) since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried (it's gonna be alright now, darlin')
Raise your glass (yeah, yeah) to the comrades we've lost
My friend, it's been a long, long time
Yeah-yeah
Thank you
