Way Back When

(アルバム： Comet - 2020)

I remember Way Back When the songs on the radio
They set our lives on fire then and showed us the way to go
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and from LA, The Byrds
Those bands played our music and Dylan wrote the words

Way back when
We didn't know then
We'd never again feel so alive
Way back when in 1965

Yes, Mary was my brown-eyed girl with skin a shade of pale
She lit my fire with her love and put the wind in our sails
Aretha sang about respect, we were younger than yesterday
Grooving to The Rascals, Gimme Some Loving and Marvin Gaye

Way back when
We didn't know then
We'd never again be closer to heaven
Way back when in 1967

Everything felt so brand new but we older than our age
Countless memories multiply as life turns page by page

We lived in our big pink house along the river green
Something in the way she moved was like nothing I'd ever seen
I asked that girl to marry me and Mary was so proud
It was CSN and Let It Be and Led Zeppelin turned up loud

Way back when
We didn't know then
We could never go back in time
Way when in 1969
Happier than we've ever been
Way back when
Yes, everything seemed easy then
Way back when
Way back when
