lyrics

The Empire Room

Days of the Empire and days of summer
Taking tea on the lawn, love
When I was for you and you loved me
Together we were going to be forever

Days of the Empire and days of summer
Up on the promenade, down by the sea
A certain air of savoir-faire
Now days all manner of folk seem to be there

Lovely, so lovely, the old world
Lovely, so lovely, the dance
Lovely, so lovely, the boys in their uniform
Lovely, so lovely, why didn’t it last?

Days of the Empire and days of summer
All of those wonderful nations in red
Bringing salvation at every station
Teddy and gollywog safe in my bed
