Emmylou Harris – Back When We Were Beautiful lyrics
I guess you had to be there
She said you had to be
She handed me a yellowed photograph
And then said, see?
This was my greatest love
My one and only love
And this is me
Back when we were beautiful
See
I don’t feel very different
She said I know it’s strange
I guess I’ve gotten used to
These little aches and pains
But I still love to dance
You know we used to dance
But night away
Back when we were beautiful
Beautiful, yes
I hated when they said
I’m aging gracefully
I fight it every day
I guess they never see
I don’t like this at all
What’s happening to me?
But I really love my grand kids
She said they’re sweet to hold
They would have loved their grandpa
Those awful jokes he told
You know sometimes for a laugh
The two of us would act
Like we were old
Back when we were beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful yes
But I guess you had to be there
She said you had to be
She handed me a yellowed photograph
And then said, see?
This was my greatest love
My one and only love
And this is me
Back when we were beautiful
See
I don’t feel very different
She said I know it’s strange
I guess I’ve gotten used to
These little aches and pains
But I still love to dance
You know we used to dance
But night away
Back when we were beautiful
Beautiful, yes
I hated when they said
I’m aging gracefully
I fight it every day
I guess they never see
I don’t like this at all
What’s happening to me?
But I really love my grand kids
She said they’re sweet to hold
They would have loved their grandpa
Those awful jokes he told
You know sometimes for a laugh
The two of us would act
Like we were old
Back when we were beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful yes
But I guess you had to be there
