Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell - Back When We Were Beautiful lyrics

I guess you have to be there She said you have to be She handed me a yeltful to cry And then said, see? This was my greatest love My one and only love And this is me Back when we were beautiful See I don’t feel very different She said I know it’s strange I guess I’ve gotten used to These little aches and pains But I still love to dance You know we used to dance But night away sponsored links Back when we were beautiful Beautiful, yes I hated when they said I’m aging gracefully I fight it every day I guess they never see I don’t like this at all What’s happening to me? But I really love my grandkids She said they’re sweet to hold They wouldn’t love their grandpa Those awful jokes he told You know sometimes for a life The two of us would let Like we were on Back when we were beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful yes But I guess you had to be there
