Times Were When

Granddad sitting by the fire, reminiscing of the times when he was a boy

In the good old days, he keeps on saying but everything I heard before

Times were when, times were when, times that won't be back again

Times were when

Times were when boys look like poor boys and their daddy says, "Active like youth should"

He doesn't understand our generation and in it he can see no good

Times were when, times were when, times that won't be back again

Times were when

But when I get to his age, I will talk of all the good times I had today

Times were when he was a young man and he thought and did the same things I do today

Times were when, times were when, times that won't be back again

Times were when

Times were when times were when, times that won't be back again

Times were when
