TIME WAS

Jimmy Dorsey



Time was when we had fun

On the school yard swings

When we exchanged graduation rings

One lovely yesterday.

Time was when we wrote

Love letters in the sand

Or lingered over our "coffee and";

Dreaming the time away.

Picnics and hay rides and mid-winter

Sleigh rides and never apart.

Hikes in the country and

There's more than one tree

On which I've a place in your heart,

Darling, every tomorrow will be complete

If all our moments are half as sweet

As all our time was then
