"The Times We Had" lyrics

When those dresses you once wore with ease
Are dated, frayed, and tight
And what little bit of hair I have left
Is turning white
And the kids we took such care to raise
Are taking care of us
We'll smile about the times we had
That no one knows but us

Times may come, and times may go
Through stages, phases, and fads
But we'll be here as souvenirs
Of all the times we had

The house we built with so much love
The kids will sell in time
Supper times and Christmas Eves
Birthdays and nursery rhymes
And should a tear roll down my cheek
And someone wonders why
You and only you will know
What makes an old man cry

Times may come, and times may go
Through stages, phases, and fads
But we'll be here as souvenirs
Of all the times we had

And we'll remember through the years
All the times we had, mm-mm-mm
