you know i've seen it
i've heard it loud and i've heard it clear
and i do remember
i've tasted sweetness
been given the reddest rose around
living was easy
i want it back
i want it back
i want it back
blue skies and golden suns
give it to me
give it to me
i need our loving arms
give it to me
give it to me
yeah the guy who gave it away
that's who i am that's who i'll be
forgot what i had
forgot what i needed to do
forgot how i needed you
i look at the pictures
i look at the things you left behind
i look in the mirror
i want it back
i want it back
i want it back
blue skies and golden suns
give it to me
give it to me
i need our loving arms
give it to me
give it to me
yeah the guy who gave it away
that's who i am that's who i'll be
forgot what i had
forgot what i needed to do
forgot how i needed you
