Back in the day, like my grandma used to say She was a single mom, raising my mom With the money she made Working in a beauty salon Her husband was gone, and her plans got changed Still she did the best she could Back in the day Cause it's her eyes, and she gets so far away She's talking at the floor Your grand-daddy bought me that piano After he came home from the war You know the world keeps getting stranger But I still feel the same I love you now like I loved you then Back in the day I had a pair of kangaroos Not the animals, but the tennis shoes Kept my lunch money in a pocket on the side I was convinced that the shoes made me jump high I guess it was because of the name Still I loved the idea just the same Cause it's her eyes, and she gets so far away Feels more like a dream That's your daddy with a moustache That's your mommy being free You know the world keeps getting stranger But I still feel the same I love you now like I loved you then Afgahn rugs and tapestries Made from memories and dreams Growing old or growing young I'll hold you in my heart (???) Cause it's her eyes, and she gets so far away She's talking at the floor Your grand-daddy bought me that piano After he came home from the war You know the world keeps getting stranger But I still feel the same I love you now like I loved you then You know I need you now like I needed you then You know I love you now like I loved you then Like I loved you Back in the day
