Those Canaan Days Lyrics - Andrew Lloyd Webber

(Simeon) 

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 

(Jacob) 

Now the fields are dead and bare 

No joie de vivre anywhere 

Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine 

(Brothers) 

Those Canaan days we used to know 

Where have they gone, where did they go? 

Eh bien, raise your berets 

To those Canaan days

(Simeon) 

Do you remember those wonderful parties? 

The splendour of Canaan's cuisine 

Our extravagant, elegant soirés 

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 

(Brothers) 

Those Canaan days we used to know 

Where have they gone, where did they go? 

Eh bien, raise your berets 

To those Canaan days 

(Simeon) 

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 

(Brothers) 

Those Canaan days we used to know 

Where have they gone, where did--did they go? 

Eh bien, raise your berets 

(Simeon) 

To those Canaan days 

(Brothers) 

Eh bien, raise your berets 

To those Canaan days
