Was it just me?

Was it my imagination?

The world seemed like such a better place then

People smiled a lot more back when

Back when

Do you remember

The time

When we were so young

And so free?

I don't know

How we could have let that slip away

I guess time

Is like a river

Rolling faster and faster

Year after year

That gets away

Yes

Time gets away

The river of time gets away

And we

Do we let it get away?

Back then

Time didn't get away

No

No

It didn't

It was just there

It was just there

And I remember the Lord

The Lord seemed so real to me then

And I believed

I believed I could

Well

I could talk to him

You know

He was my friend

I wish

I wish he was here now

I wish

I wish

I wish I was there now

Oh

I want to go back

Oh

I want to go back

Do you remember the time?

The time when the Lord was so near

And you

You were so real?

I don't know

How we could have let that slip away

I guess time

Time is like a river

Rolling faster and faster

Year after year

And it gets away

Time gets away

The river of time gets away

And we

Do we let it get away?

Back then

Time didn't get away

No

No

It didn't

It was just there

It was just there

Do you remember

The time

When we were so young

And so free?

I don't know

How we could have let that slip away

I guess time

Is like a river

Rolling faster and faster

Year after year

That gets away

Yes

Time gets away

The river of time gets away

And we

Do we let it get away?

Back then

Time didn't get away

No

No

It didn't

It was just there

It was just there

The river of time gets away

And we

Do we let it get away?

Back then

Time didn't get away

No

No

It didn't

It was just there

It was just there
