Times Were When

Granddad's 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's saying: act if like you young men should
He doesn't understand our generation
And maybe 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
