I remember Way Back When the songs on the radio They set our lives on fire then and showed us the way to go The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and from LA, The Byrds Those bands played our music and Dylan wrote the words Way back when We didn't know then We'd never again feel so alive Way back when in 1965 Yes, Mary was my brown-eyed girl with skin a shade of pale She lit my fire with her love and put the wind in our sails Aretha sang about respect, we were younger than yesterday Groovin' to The Rascals, Gimme Some Lovin' and Marvin Gaye Way back when We didn't know then We'd never again be closer to heaven Way back when in 1967 Everything felt so brand new but we older than our age Countless memories multiply as life turns page by page We lived in our big pink house along the river green Something in the way she moved was like nothing I'd ever seen I asked that girl to marry me and Mary was so proud It was CSN and Let It Be and Led Zeppelin turned up loud Way back when We didn't know then We could never go back in time Way when in 1969 Happier than we've ever been Way back when Yes, everything seemed easy then Way back when Way back when
