Lyrics
Time Was
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time was when we had fun
On the school yard swings
When we exchanged graduation rings
One lovely yesterday.
Time was when we wrote
Love letters in the sand
Or lingered over our "coffee and";
Dreaming the time away.
Picnics and hay rides and mid-winter
Sleigh rides and never apart.
Hikes in the country and
There's more than one tree
On which I've a place in your heart,
Darling, every tomorrow will be complete
If all our moments are half as sweet
As all our time was then
