Those Canaan Days 歌詞

Those Canaan Days - Original Broadway Cast of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'

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

 

No joie de vivre anywhere

 

Now the fields are dead and bare

 

No joie de vivre anywhere

 

Et main tenant 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 splendour 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 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
