[Verse 1]
I remember how once upon a time
Before I could even phone you I had to borrow a dime
I had nothing to give you and still you said you'd be mine
Lord those were the good years
[Verse 2]
A big night on the town for us used to be
Just two glasses of wine on our first anniversary
Oh I know you could have more but you stuck by me
(Those were the sweet years) Those were the sweet years
[Verse 3]
But I wasn't happy though you were complained
I wanted to give you more than just my name
I wanted to buy you not wine but champagne
And then came the hard years
[Verse 4]
'Cause I started working harder and longer than ever before
Just to buy you all the things that you never even asked me for
And I never noticed but you changed more and more
(Those were the sad years) Those were the sad years
[Verse 5]
But the price of success just kept going up
And even when I had it all I didn't want to stop
For some reason it became important to me to stay on the top
Those were the selfish years
[Verse 6]
And then I stopped one minute of my busy day
I felt like something was missing and what I couldn't say
And when I realized that it was love that had died away
And then came the bad years
(Then came the bad years)
And Then Came The Bad Years was written by Steve Karliski.
