Good Times lyrics

When I ran to the store with a penny and when youth was abundant and plenty

Classify these as good times good times

When I rolled rubber tires in the driveway
Pulled a purse on a string across the highway

Classify these as good times good times

Good times are coming humming hmm good times are coming humming hmm

[ guitar ]

This looks like a December day this looks like a time to remember day

And I remember a spring such a sweet tender thing
And love's summer college where the green leaves of knowledge

Were waiting to fall with the fall

And where September wine numbed a measure of time

Through the tears of October now November's over

And this looks like a December day

My world is like a river as dark as it is deep

Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me

Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories

Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night

Wondering from room to room turning on each light

I hope I won't disturb you with this call I'm just in town for such a little while

And I thought perhaps you'd like to hear the news

Jeannie's grades were the highest in the school
Billy sure does look a lot like you I understand your other son does too

And Billy said tell mom I miss her so

These were some little things I thought you'd like to know

Last evening I turned back the pages of time

And tore out the chapters when you were mine
I attempted to cut out the memories of you

And paste in some new ones far better and true true

I searched through the chapters referring to hearts

For the one with a caption till death do us part

I ripped at each letter and I tore at each word

I wake up in the morning with my arms around my pillow

Then suddenly I realize I only hold a pillow you're not there you're not there
I call your name and hear my voice run searching through the hallway

To return alone confirming all I've known for so long I'm alone you're still gone

Still half asleep I stumble to the kitchen for my coffee

Oh, look around you
Look down the bar from you
The lonely faces that you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

These are your friends
But are they real friends
Do they love you the same as me
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

You seem in such a hurry to live this kind of life
You've caused so many tears and misery

Look around you, take a good look

Today's gonna make a wonderful yesterday

One on which I know that I can look back and smile
And with you here with me the hours have flown away

And today's gonna make a wonderful yesterday

Today we have made a thousand and one memories

That we can recall when today is a sweet used to be

And with you in my arms the future seems so far away

And today's gonna make a wonderful yesterday

Laugh with me buddy jest with me buddy don't let her get the best of me buddy

Don't ever let me start feeling lonely
If I ever needed you buddy you know how I really do buddy

Don't ever let me start feeling lonely

I cry at the least little thing buddy and I'll die if you mention her name buddy

Talk to me buddy stay with me buddy let's don't let her get away buddy

Did I ever ever love you did I ever really care

All the times that I cried for you did I really want you there
Wiser man then I have wondered about love and never knew

Did I ever love you I guess I still do

All the nights that I spent cryin' all those lonely loss of times

Was it my imagination was it only in my mind

Wiser man then I have wondered...
