Verse 1:
Like we really used to before we met in the fall
I can’t regain it, my youth has gone
We really had it all, oh

Chorus:
Hold me like you really used to
A summer’s day in Gloucestershire
The view is changing
See them laughing, in their gardens
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire, again

Post-Chorus:
Ahh, oooh, ahhhh
Da da da, da da da da-aa

Verse 2:
Hold me like you really used to before we met in the fall
I can’t regain it, my youth has gone
We really had it all, oh

Chorus:
Hold me like you really used to
A summer’s day in Gloucestershire
The view is changing
See them laughing, in their gardens
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire, again

Verse 3:
Hold me like you really used to before we met in the fall
I can’t regain it, my youth has gone
We really had it all

Chorus:
So, hold me like you really used to
A summer’s day in Gloucestershire
The view is changing
See them laughing, in their gardens
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire (‘cestershire, ’cestershire)
‘Cestershire (‘cestershire)

Hold me like you really used to
A summer’s day in Gloucestershire
The view is changing
See them laughing, in their gardens
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire
I wish that we’ll see Gloucestershire, again
