those were the good times

broken down apartment rooms paper plates and plastic spoons

honey those were the good times

twenty dollar wedding band cotton dress and dishpan fan

honey those were the good times

those were the good times

those were the give-you-all-i could times

we got by on what we made and we made love everyday

and honey those were the good times

now this house is an empty place satin sheets and lots of lace

but honey gone are the good times

big parties imported booze tailored clothes italian shoes

but honey gone are the good times

gone are the good times

gone are the give-you all-i-could times

but have they really slipped away can we bring them back to stay

cause honey those were the good times

honey those were the good times
