Lyrics
Those Were the Good Times
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.
Broken down apartment rooms
Paper plates and plastic spoons
Honey, those were the good times
Twenty dollar wedding band
Cotton dress and dish-pan hands
Honey, those were the good times
Those were the good times
Those were the, 'give you all I could', times
We got by on what we made
And we made love everyday
And honey, those were the good times
Now, this house is an empty place
Satin sheets and lots of lace
But honey, gone are the good times
Big parties, imported booze
Tailored clothes, Italian shoes
But honey, gone are the good times
Gone, are the good times
Gone, are the, 'give you all I could', times
But have they really slipped away
Can we bring them back to stay?
'Cause honey, those were the good times
Honey, those were the good times
