We're all together once again

For the first time in I don't know when

We were so close once upon a time

There were five of us kids at home

Two girls three boys and Dad and Mom

But that was in the better part

Of life we left behind

Remember that old swimming hole

Where we would swim so long ago

And all them possum grapes and muskedines

And do you recall the time

We all got drunk on homemade wine

That was in the better part

Of life we left behind

Life was simple for us then

If only it could be again

How I wish we could go back in time

But time moves on and nothin' lasts

Except the memories from the past

Memories from the better part

Of life we left behind

Remember how we talked as kids

Of what we'd be when we got big

And all the dreams that we held in our minds

I wanted to be a singin' star

And you all said that I'd go far

But that was in the better part

Of life we left behind

Remember all the fun we had

Back when they say times were bad

And life was good to us and things were fine

We had fun and we had love

And a mom and dad to care for us

But that was is the better part

Of life we left behind

Life was simple for us then

If only it could be again

How I wish we could go back in time

But time moves on and nothin' lasts

Except the memories from the past

Memories from the better part

Of life we left behind

Sweet memories from the better part

Of life we left behind
