There Was a Time Lyrics by Tom Fogerty

Myopia

0

There was a time when I thought I would make it
And there was a time when I thought that I knew
But now I find that that same old used-to-be
Is gone and there ain't no easy road

There was a time long ago, do you remember?
We used to have so much fun, so much fun
But now I find that those good ol' days are gone
Oh no, there ain't no easy way

Don't shed no tears for the hope in your life
They're only faded memories

There was a time when I thought I could change things
There was a time when I thought I could do
But youth was just another day in my life
Oh no, there ain't no easy road

Don't shed no tears for the hope in your life
They're only faded memories

There was a time when I thought I could change things
There was a time when I thought I could do
But youth was just another day in my life
Oh no, there ain't no easy road
