Song title Back When We Were Beautiful
Artist Matraca Berg
i guess you had to be there
she said
you had to be
she handed me a yellowed photograph
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 dont feel very different
she said
i know its strange
i guess ive gotten used to these little aches and pains
but i still love to dance
you know we used to dance
the night away
back when we were beautiful
beautiful
yes
i hate it when they say
im aging gracefully
i fight it every day
i guess they never see
i dont like this at all
whats happening to me
to me
but i really love my grandkids
she said
theyre sweet to hold
they would have loved their grandpa
those awful jokes he told
you know sometimes for a laugh
the two of us would act
like we were old
back when we were beautiful
beautiful
yes
but i guess you had to be there
