I remember how it used to be
Way back home upon that old blue swing
I would laugh and cry
As I went to high
We'd take turns and push each other
Nighttime fell and you'd shout I love ya
From the room next door as we'd close our eyes
Now I know we're so much older And have our own lives to live
But I wish I could go back
to those old times
All we needed was each other to get by
Daddy didn't work on East East Street
And sometimes couldn't make those two ends meet
But what he brought home Was more than a good day's pay
Mama did without and didn't fuss Her
greatest gift was just to give to us
She stood up but never stood in our way
It must be
hard for them
to see us
I know you
can't outstay How I
wish I could go back
to those old times
All we needed was each other to get by
Now I know we're so
much older
And have our own lives to live
But I wish I could go back to those old times
All we needed was each other to get by
All we needed was each other to get by
