Now my days are growing cold
All the memories unfold
Thinking 'bout the friends we lost
Wondering how to count the cost
Now my days are growing cold

I can hardly wait any longer
Now the feeling's growing stronger
Thinking 'bout the times we had
Good times always turn into bad
Now my days are growing cold

Why don't you take me for a little while
Sing me songs you know will make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while

As I watch the rising sun
I see a new day just begun
Thinking 'bout the sacrifice
Wondering how to pay the price
Now my world is growing cold

Why don't you take me for a little while
Sing me songs you know will make me smile, make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while, yeah

So now my days are growing cold
All my memories been told
Thinking 'bout the dreams we lost
Wondering how to count the cost
Now my days are growing cold

Why don't you take me for a little while
Sing me songs you know will make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while
Sing me songs you know will make me, make me, make me smile

Why don't you take me for a little while
Sing me songs you know will make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while
Sing me songs you know will make me, make me, make me smile

Make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while
Sing me songs you know will make me, make me, make me smile

Somebody take me, take me, ooh
Won't you make me smile
Sing me songs you know will make me, make me, make me smile
Make me smile

Interpretation

As I get older, I can't help but think of the friends I've lost and the good times that are only memories now. It's like when the weather turns cold, and things seem bleak. Please just take me into your world for a little while, sing me songs, and brighten my day.
