Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It must have been
It must have been
It must have been a happy time, time
[Verse 2]
It must have been
It must have been
It must have been a happy time, time
[Verse 3]
The sun would shine
The candy bars
Kool Aid flowing like wine
The comic books
The TV shows
The bubble gum
The kitty cat
[Verse 4]
I was a time traveller
Listening to the heavenly laughter
Laurie was always with me
Ever after
Forever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever
[Verse 5]
Have been
It must have been
It must have been a happy time, time
[Verse 6]
It must have been
It must have been
It must have been a happy time, time
[Verse 7]
The picture drawing
The pretend hero
My favorite was Captain America
The little girl
The flowers in the yard
The dog and cat
The welcome mat
[Verse 8]
God told me to go out
Singing my songs and whatnot
Led me to the holy river baptism
Holy, holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy, holy
[Verse 9]
Must have been
It must have been
It must have been a happy time, time
[Verse 10]
It must have been
It must have been
It must have been a happy time, time
[Verse 11]
The GI Joes
The plastic monsters
My dad's model airplanes
Life magazines
The Bible stories
Kimba the Lion
The King Kong
[Verse 12]
I was a cosmic child
Walking the second mile
I had to defeat the aliens
Bloody battle
Fight to the finish
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight
[Verse 13]
It must have been
It must have been
It must have been a happy time, time
[Verse 14]
It must have been
It must have been
It must have been a happy time, time
Time, time (Time)
