The Good Times

Remember when we played outside as children?

We didn’t have worry in the world back then

Remember getting our first bike and learning how to ride?

And removing the training wheels and falling on our hides

Remember when you scored the highest grade in school?

And everyone was annoyed because you thought you were cool?

What about the adventures with our closest friends?

These are the memories that stay with us till the end

Remember when you got in to that sports team?

And you were so excited that your eyes would gleam?

How about that feeling when your crush first spoke to you?

And you were standing there speechless, not knowing what to do

Getting their number was the biggest win and it stood alone

But the scariest thing was actually picking up the phone

Asking them out was another that thing that made our hearts race

If they said “yes” you’d freeze in disbelief and fall flat on your face

The next step was the drivers license, didn’t that take us far?

Nothing in the world was cooler than getting your own car

Hanging out with friends and feeling so free

And it was just as much fun just hanging out with a coffee

We often forget these good times we’ve had

Cos we always bury them deep beneath the sad

Though the moments will always be precious

We never seem to carry them with us

Before life became all about bills, nickels and dimes

We’ve all actually enjoyed some of really happy times
