Back When We Were Beautiful - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)/Rodney Crowell

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

The night away

Back when we were beautiful beautiful yes

I hate it when they say

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 grandkids 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
