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.
