Way Back When

Album: 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
    Groovin' to The Rascals, gimme some lovin' 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, we were 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 back when in 1969

    Happier than we've ever been
    Way back when
    Yes, everything seemed so easy then
    Way back when
    Way back when Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
