Lyrics
CAN?T GO BACK
YEARS GO BY FASTER THAN A DREAM, THINGS WE TOOK FOR GRANTED AIN?T QUITE WHAT THEY SEEM
SETTIN ON THE BACK PORCH WTH ONLY MEMORIES, WONDERING HOW THE DAY?S WENT BY
CAN?T GO BACK TO ALL THOSE YOUNGER YEARS
CAN?T GO BACK TO ALL THOSE MILLION TEARS
LOOK TO THE FUTURE AND WHAT IT?LL BRING
AND BE THANKFUL THAT HE GAVE US ALL THOSE LITTLE THINGS
LIKE YOUR CHILDRENS LAUGHTER WHEN THEY WALK BY
THE TIMES YOU HELD THEM WHEN SOMEONE MADE THEM CRY
THE ADVICE YOU GAVE THEM WHEN SOMEONE DIED
AND THE LOOK OF SATISFACTION WHEN THEY GOT OLD AND WISE
YOU?RE PARENTS PICTURE HANGIN ON THE WALL
THE TIMES THEY CAUGHT YOU WHEN YOU WERE ABOUT TO FALL
THE LOOK OF PRIDE WHEN YOU DID YOUR BEST
AND THE LOVE YOU HAD INSIDE WHEN THEY LAYED THEM DOWN TO REST

REPEAT VERSE
