I Remember When
I remember when…
Courting fellows all wore suits.
Their girls wore pretty dresses.
To tell one from the other
didn’t take too many guesses.
I remember when….
A lady always wore a hat
and waited to be seated.
But now the poor man doesn’t know
how she wants to be treated.
I remember when…
Mothers didn’t work outside the home
and were always there to greet you
with loving hugs and like as not
some fresh baked sweets to treat you.
