Back When We Were Beautiful |
| I guess you had to be there, she said, you had to be |
| She handed me a yellowed photograph and then said, see |
| This was my greatest love, my one and only love and this is me |
| Back when we were beautiful, see |
| I don’t feel very different, she said, I know it’s strange |
| I guess I’ve gotten used to these little aches and pains |
| But I still love to dance, you know we used to dance the night away |
| Back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yeah |
| I hate it when they say I’m aging gracefully |
| I fight it every day, I guess they never see |
| I don’t like this at all, what’s happening to me |
| To me |
| But I really love my grandkids, she said, they’re sweet to hold |
| They would’ve loved their grandpa, those awful jokes he told |
| You know, sometimes for a laugh the two of us would act like we were old |
| Back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yeah |
| But I guess you had to be there |
