They Don't Make Years Like They Used To

I bet you can remember back when you were five or six
|
That year between each Christmas seemed like ten
|
And things that you looked forward to seemed so far away
|
And being grown was a million years back then
|
|
That summer between junior-high and high school took three years
|
Twenty more went by till you could drive
|
Oh they made them good in the old days, some would last forever
|
But the ones they're making now just don't survive
|
|
They just don't make years like they used to
|
Strange you turn around and then they're gone
|
Let's make the most of each moment together
|
Cause the years they're making now don't last that long
|
|
It seems like only yesterday we held our first born child
|
Today he's going off to school you know
|
And that favorite photograph of you and me that New Year's Eve
|
Was that lost year or fifteen years ago
|
|
When we were still just sweethearts the days would pass so slow
|
Tonight time found us snuggled up so close
|
All that time that just stood still oh so long ago
|
Is flying by now when you need it most
|
|
They just don't make years like they used to
|
Strange you turn around and then they're gone
|
Let's make the most of each moment together
|
Cause the years they're making now don't last that long
|
|
No the years they're making now don't last that long
