All of the hard days are gone its all beer and whiskey and songs from now on Laugh at the darkness and dance until dawn All of the hard days are gone . We're all safe and warm here my friends The hard days are gone they won't come again So raise up your voices, give us a song All of the hard days are gone. Life has been cloudy and grey Take the bad memories and put them away For the sun has come out, we have waited so long All of the hard days are gone So Raise up your glasses and sing For the hard days are gone, they don't mean a thing If you want to be happy I will take you along All of the hard days are gone
