Bill Anderson - And then came the bad years lyrics
Your rating:
I remember how once upon a time Before I could even phone you I had to borrow a dime I had nothing to give you And still you said you'd be mine Lord, these were the good years. A big night on the town for us used to be Just two glasses of wine on our first anniversary Oh, I know you could have more but you stuck by me Those were the sweet years. But I wasn't happy though you never complained I wanted to give you more than just my name I wanted to buy you not wine but champagne And then came the hard years. 'Cause I started working harder and longer than ever before Just to buy you all the things that you never even asked me for And I never noticed but you changed more and more Those were the sad years. But the price of success just kept goin' up And even when I had it all I didn't want to stop For some reason it became important to me to stay on the top Those were the selfish years. And then I stopped one minute of my busy day I felt like something was missing and what I couldn't say And when I realized that it was love that had died away And then came the bad years. (Then came the bad years.)...
