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 then just his name When everybody stood behind The promises they made
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 the things are now Where the lawyers write the vows I whant the kind of love our parents hade We can learn from them The ways, the ways of way back when
There was a time when love Was saved for the wedding day It's safe to say "that kinde of thing don't happen today" It wasn't so long ago We bowed our heads and prayed And "faith" was more than just a word You heard some preacher say
That was somewhere way back when That's the way the world was then I want the kinde of love our parents had We can learn from them The ways, the ways of way back when!
