Lyrics

WAY BACK WHEN

There was a time;
When they played
for the love of the game
When a soldier gave his life
he knew it wasn't in vain
A time when a father offered
more than just his name
when everybody stood behind
the promises they made

Chorus
That was somewhere way back when
that's the way the world was then
when I love you meant forever
up until the very end
Not like the way that things are now
where the lawyers write the vows
I want the kind of love
our parents had
we could learn from them
The way, the way to way back when

There was a time
when love was saved
for the wedding day
It's safe to say that kind of thing
don't happen today
Was it so long ago
we'd bow our heads and pray
and faith was more than just a word
you heard some preacher say

CHORUS
BRIDGE
Livin'' in the here and now
we can have the life
we've dreamed about
if we know where we're goin?s
where we've already been
CHORUS
