We're drinking my friend, To the end of a brief episode, Make it one for my baby, And one more for the road.
That old black magic has me in its spell, That old black magic that you weave so well; Icy fingers up and down my spine, The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
You must have been a beautiful baby, 'Cos baby just look at you now.
Days of wine and roses laugh and run away, like a child at play.
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow.
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew. Everything was ours; how happy we were then, but then once upon a time never comes again.
