The Good Times Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walkin' in the misty mornin' dew
Thinkin' how it used to be
When I walked with you
And I talked with you

[Verse 2]
Pickin' ivory daises in the golden sun
Does she love me?
Pull those petals off one by one
Put your hand in mine and run

[Refrain]
The good times
The good times

[Verse 3]
In the winter not so long ago
We would bundle up in lots of clothes
And go play in the snow
Huh, but your nose got cold

[Verse 4]
And I come over to your place
And I'd watch the firelight
Paint pictures on your face
Oh, I miss those days
[Refrain]
The good times
The good times

[Bridge]
Life's a one-way street. you can't change the hands of time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 5]
I can see you standin' by the window there
A street lamp makes a halo glow
In your golden hair
Are the looks still there?

[Verse 6]
And maybe someday when we're old
We can look back and hold
Something worth more than gold
Mem'ries of the good times

[Outro]
The good times
The good times
The good times
The good times
(The good times)
(The good times)
(The good times)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
