Well I donâ??t like taking pictures
â??cause I donâ??t like to admit
That someday Iâ??ll be older
And thereâ??ll be times that I forget
So I donâ??t keep a scrapbook
â??cause I donâ??t need that weight
Well the memories are like ghosts
And they haunt me when itâ??s late
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
But I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot
But I got a couple pictures
Because sometimes I like to see
How I looked when I was younger
â??cause I didnâ??t look that way to me
And my daddy he kept a scrapbook
And Iâ??d leaf through once in a while
Those old black and white pictures
Of wedding cakes and sisters
Yeah, they make me smile
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
And I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot, yeah
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
And I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot
Well the things that I forgot
Give me back the simple things that I forgot
