Picking Flowers

I can hear my parents calling Picking flowers in the garden Easy to amuse Didn't keep up with the news Oh yeah, that was back when rent was cheaper Dirty T-shirts, beat-up sneakers Everything was new And not a thing we couldn't do Here's to the dreams that we had Back when we laughed and we didn't know that There would be days that were bad We felt the love that we loved, that we had Not all the money we stashed We wouldn't fight back the tears when we're sad Gave everybody a chance What happened to all the dreams that we had? Never by myself Couldn't reach me on my cell Didn't have to work back then Our parents were the ATM's When it was easy to be grateful Whatever we had, we were thankful Didn't worry 'bout the bills (no, no) Every now and again, I just think back to when I can hear my parents calling Picking flowers in the garden Easy to amuse Didn't keep up with the news Oh yeah, that was back when rent was cheaper Dirty t-Shirts, beat-up sneakers Everything was new And not a thing we couldn't do Here's to the dreams that we had Back when we laughed and we didn't know that There would be days that were bad We felt the love that we loved, that we had Not all the money we stashed We wouldn't fight back the tears when we're sad Gave everybody a chance What happened to all the dreams that we had? Here's to the dreams that we had Back when we laughed and we didn't know that There would be days that were bad We felt the love that we loved, that we had Not all the money we stashed We wouldn't fight back the tears when we're sad Gave everybody a chance What happened to all the dreams that we had?
