Let's Go Back

Let's go back to a different time When the touch of a young woman's hand was sublime And chivalry wasn't a sexist crime Before civilization fell. Where innocence and love combined On the back porch swing as the Autumn moon shined Happiness was more than a state of mind Before it all went to hell. We captured moonbeams and put them away in jars Made love in the back seat of our cars Lied in a field and gazed at the stars And dreamed of a bright tomorrow. It seems like something we could not avert They took our good feelings and replaced them with hurt Then took something beautiful and changed it to dirt Filling our lives with sorrow. Let's go back to that special place Let me see that smile upon your face Regret and sorrow, we can find no trace And the sun shines high above. Let's go back to a different land Where lives aren't built on shifting sand And we can hold our dreams in the palm of our hand And the world is full of love.
