these are the good ole days

i'm wastin' half of my life just lookin' back, thinkin' all of my good times were in the past, ain't no joy to be found livin' life like that, i couldn't feel the sunshine on my face, everywhere that i'd go i'd feel out of place, finally figured out i'd never win that race, now i'm amazed to find, these are the good ole days that we've been livin', no more lookin' back all is forgivin', ain't gonna live my life through no picture frame, these are the good ole days, seems like people get lost talkin' 'bout some day, something better will come and take them away, never realize 'til it's too late, it's the simple things that make life worthwhile, like a warm summer day or a laughin' child, or how it makes me feel just to see you smile, baby you know it's true, these are the good ole days
