From the recording Back when love was simple
Lyrics
[Intro]
Can you hear that lonesome train? Rolling through my mind,
Echoes of the tender days, so good and unrefined.
[Verse 1]
We'd sit on the porch swing, under that old oak tree,
Counting stars and fireflies, just you and me.
We danced in the moonlight, hearts unguarded, so free,
Back when love was simple, love was all we’d ever need.
[Pre-Chorus]
Time moves on, but oh the days I miss,
Those quiet moments, every lingering kiss,
No noise from the world could ever come between,
We felt it all — that beautiful routine.
[Chorus]
Oh, back when love was simple, hearts laid bare,
A whispered dream, the softest air.
With every sunrise, we’d greet the day,
Holding onto moments that couldn't slip away.
Oh, the laughter, the warmth of your hand in mine,
Back when love was simple, timeless as the pine.
[Verse 2]
We'd drive down those old dirt roads, windows rolled down,
Singing songs of joy, not a worry around.
The world was painted gold by every setting sun,
In that sweet embrace, we thought we’d never come undone.
[Bridge]
But seasons change, as they always do,
And nights grow colder when I’m missing you.
I search for the glimmer of what we used to be,
In every love song, the melody still calls me.
[Chorus]
Oh, back when love was simple, hearts laid bare,
A whispered dream, the softest air.
With every sunrise, we’d greet the day,
Holding onto moments that couldn't slip away.
Oh, the laughter, the warmth of your hand in mine,
Back when love was simple, timeless as the pine.
[Outro]
Now I carry the echoes, they never truly fade,
In the quiet of the night, in the memories we made.
Forever I'll cherish that sweet summer glow,
Back when love was simple, oh I just want you to know.
