That's When Things Were Nice

There was a time when we played games and had fun
Every challenge, the Westerners won
Always busy, days on the run
That's when things were right
All our days were filled with skating ballet, hiking bikes, and weekends away
Watching movies, when I cried, you would say, "That's when things were right"

When families are close
No one's keeping score
If someone's missing, then you'll give more
When families are close
No matter what is wrong, you hang together
Nothing lasts that long

There was a time when as kids, we would play
Me an engine, you are cowboy cliché
Where's the secret to our yesterday
That's when things were right
Met my husband Chad, I thought it was fate
A boy, a girl, healthy and great
Who would imagine trouble lying in late?
That's when things were right

When families are close
No matter what's in store
You find it in you to get back to before
When families are close
No matter what is wrong
We'll hang together, we'll get through this
There's nothing to this
It won't be that long
