I can still remember when all was fine But the pleasure of the moment it cannot stop time But I remember endless acres and the cold Kansas wind Deep plowed under furrows so soon to grow again The yellow of the wheat field and the greenness of the gra** My memories clip the blue sky like a glimmer of the past If I could just go back there in time much more than space To hear my mother's laughter and to touch my father's face It seems like a lot to me, what 30 years have shown How nothing lasts forever and love is all we own It seems like a lot to me, what 30 years have shown Put it all together and love is all we own There it all was simple with little to regret
No promises were broken and the dew was wet If I could just be young again, skip rocks across the lake Grab lightnin' bugs while the sun goes down and keep my friends awake Sunsets by the barnyard and the dark means day is done But the night won't last much longer than it took to hide the sun When I feel like I'm trapped here and I cannot find the past Well it almost takes me back there just to hear my family laugh It seems like a lot to me, what 30 years have shown How nothing lasts forever and love is all we own It seems like a lot to me, what 30 years have shown Put it all together and love is all we own
