It's so sad to say
Talking about yesterday
All those good times are gone
The way we were was fun
Always on the run
Things ain't simple anymore
We took love easy
One day at a time
I keep those memories in my mind
Ain't a day goes by
I don't stop crying
Things ain't simple anymore
We were younger then
Thought it would never end
All those good times are gone
Heaven help us now
Above may cue somehow
Things ain't simple anymore
We took love easy
One day at a time
I keep those memories in my mind
Ain't a day goes by
I don't stop and cry
Things ain't simple anymore
