The Good Old Days

[Chorus: Ron Pope]
When the babies are grown up
And they move so far away
To live their lives, only call sometimes
We'll learn to be okay
But one day we'll long for the chaos
Of this crowded messy house
'Cause the good old days are happening right now

[Verse 1: Ron Pope]
I will remember you
Walking towards me in that dress
Long after I've forgotten my own name
'Cause every other thing about me
Cracks and fades away
The way I love you stays and stays and stays

[Chorus: Ron Pope, both]
When thе babies are grown up
And they movе so far away
To live their lives, only call sometimes
We'll learn to be okay
But one day we'll long for the chaos
Of this crowded messy house
'Cause the good old days are happening right now

[Verse 2: Ron Pope, both]
I used to carry you
Twenty blocks home on my back
Late nights when your shoes would hurt your feet
Seems a thousand lives ago
But the memory's just as sweet
And you kept me save for much worse things
Than glass out in the street

[Chorus: both]
When the babies are grown up
And they move so far away
To live their lives, only call sometimes
We'll learn to be okay
But one day we'll long for the chaos
Of this crowded messy house
'Cause the good old days are happening right now

[Bridge: both]
May I get to wake beside you twenty thousand mornings more
And may the only thing that we don't have enough of soon be born
And may we live to love each other even more than we do now somehow

[Chorus: Ron Pope, both]
When the babies are grown up
And they move so far away
To live their lives, only call sometimes
We'll learn to be okay
But one day we'll long for the chaos
Of this crowded messy house
'Cause the good old days are happening right now
Yes the good old days are happening right now
