[Verse 1]
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Cry away the sadness in your eyes
And I can find a faith in days I've wasted
Been around enough to feel alive
And when the world is broken, hard and cold and
No one ever knows the reason why
For the ones we may become
For the battles we have won
For the day we reach the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight

[Verse 2]
When you dream of a dream
And you live in the world
Every hope is a hope for the best
And won't you rest on my bones
And you're calling me now
I was here all the time
Should be out there living the life
And not just watching you

[Chorus]
Take me back
Before we all explode
Before we turn to stone
Before the night has gone
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before they take us over

Tonight we're gonna live for
We're gonna live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we'll remember
We'll remember these days

[Verse 2]
What a day to believe
To believe in the night
What a day to belong to a face in the crowd to the beat of your heart
And I'm already in
And you're working it out
And you're holding us all in your hands
Oh, what you waiting for

[Chorus 2]
Take me back
Before we lose control
Before the tables turn
Before we break it all
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before they take us over

Tonight we're gonna live for
We're gonna live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we'll remember
We'll remember these days (x2)

[Verse 1]
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Cry away the sadness in your eyes
And I can find a faith in days I've wasted
Been around enough to feel alive
And when the world is broken, hard and cold and
No one ever knows the reason why
For the ones we may become
For the battles we have won
For the day we reach the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight

[Outro]
Tonight we're gonna live for
We're gonna live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we'll remember
We'll remember these days

Tonight we're gonna live for
We're gonna live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we'll remember
We'll remember these days

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days (x3)

(Mark speaking)
You get those days, and you wake up in the morning, and you think “alright where am I, what time is it, what am I doing here, what’s me name?”

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
