BACK THEN
(Jerry Crutchfield)


Barbara Fairchild - 1970
Wanda Jackson - 1971





I've loved you for so long that it's hard for me to change
And I know since you're not here there's some things to rearrange
But I keep hoping that someday you might come back again
And I want everything to be the way it was back then

Back then our love would start with a kiss and mornin' coffee
Good mornin', darlin', did you sleep all right
Back then my day was made with the mem'ry of your lovin'
And the promise that you'd be lovin' me tonight

It's so strange what can happen, how the good things can go wrong
Like one day you were with me, the next day you were gone
But a million golden memories can't bring you back again
I'd trade them all to change things to the way they were back then

Back then our love would start with a kiss and mornin' coffee
Good mornin', darlin', did you sleep all right
Back then my day was made with the mem'ry of your loving
And the promise that you'd be lovin' me tonight
