Back When We Were Beautiful Lyrics - Old Yellow Moon - Emmylou Harris

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 

Photos 

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
