Back When We Were Beautiful

I guess you have to be there

She said you have to be

She handed me a yeltful to cry

And then said, see?

This was my greatest love

My one and only love

And this is me

Back when we were beautiful

See

I don't feel very different

She said I know it's strange

I guess I've gotten used to

These little aches and pains

But I still love to dance

You know we used to dance

But night away

Back when we were beautiful

Beautiful, yes

I hated when they said

I'm aging gracefully

I fight it every day

I guess they never see

I don't like this at all

What's happening to me?

But I really love my grandkids

She said they're sweet to hold

They wouldn't love their grandpa

Those awful jokes he told

You know sometimes for a life

The two of us would let

Like we were on

Back when we were beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful yes

But I guess you had to be there
