What A Time It Was
Bob Stump (c) 2015

I close my eyes I'm seventeen all the world 's a great big dream
I can hear my mamma call don't stay out all night long
but we were rocking and rolling till the break of dawn
What a time we had what a time it was

I close my eyes I'm twenty five I promised that I'd love her till the day I die
and there we were dancing in the moonlight not looking back just holding on tight
What a time we had what a time it was

Looking back down the roads I once walked on
a lot of friends I've known have come and gone
the first time I saw her I knew she was the one
as pretty as a flower in the morning sun
What a time we had what a time it was

I close my eyes I'm forty five working for a living doing pretty fine
work church and home a little girl of my own she looks like her mamma did once
I close my eyes I'm sixty five the kids are grown and out on their own
it's been years since my old dog died man I really missed that pup
What a time we had what a time it was


I close my eyes I'm ninety five I never could of made it without her by my side
she's waiting for me now in a peaceful place above pretty as a flower in the morning sun
What a time we had what a time it was
