[ Verse 1 ]:

I do remember
When the sunlight had a special kind of brightness
And the laughter held a lover's kind of lightness;
Yellow days...yellow days

[ Verse 2 ]:

She would hold me
And a smile would spread around us so completely
And the softness of a kiss would linger sweetly;
Yellow days...yellow days

[ Chorus 1 ]:

But then came thunder
And I heard her say goodbye through tears of wonder;
Now I'm all alone and my heart wants to know:
"Yellow days, where'd you go?"

[ Chorus 2 ]:

Life is empty
And the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember...
From yellow days...yellow days
[ musical interlude ]

[ Chorus 1 ]:

But then came thunder
And I heard her say goodbye through tears of wonder;
Now I'm all alone and my heart wants to know:
"Yellow days, where did you go?"

[ Chorus 2 ]:

All life is empty
And the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember...
From yellow days...yellow days

[ Outro ]:

Yellow days...mellow days...yellow days
