Andrew Lloyd Webber Those Canaan Days Lyrics

Do you remember the good years in Canaan?
The summers were endlessly gold
The fields were a patchwork of clover
The winters were never too cold

We'd stroll down the boulevards together
And everything round us was fine
Now the fields are dead and bare
No joie de vivre anywhere
Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine

Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days

Do you remember those wonderful parties?
The splendor of Canaan's cuisine
Our extravagant, elegant soirees
The gayest the Bible has seen

It's funny but since we lost Joseph We've gone to the other extreme
No one comes to dinner now, we'd only eat them anyhow
I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams

Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days

It's funny but since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
Perhaps we all misjudged the lad
Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad
And how we miss his entertaining dreams

Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days
Eh bien, raise your berets to those Canaan days
