Back When We Were Beautiful

Lyrics

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
