Back When We Were Beautiful Lyrics - Singles - Berg Matraca

I guess you had to be there, she said, you had to be 

She handed me a yellow photograph 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 the night away 

Back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yeah 

I hate it when they say I'm aging gracefully 

I fight it everyday, I guess they never see 

I don't like this at all, what's happening to me 

To me 

But I really love my grandkids, she said, they're sweet to hold 

They would have loved their grandpa, those awful jokes he told 

You know, sometimes for a laugh the two of us would act like we were old 

Back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yeah 

But I guess you had to be there
