picking flowers Lyrics

I can hear my parents calling

Picking flowers in the garden

Easy to amuse

Didn't keep up with the news

That was back when rent was cheaper

Dirty t-shirts, beat up sneakers

Everything was new

And not a thing we couldn't do

Heres to the dreams that we had back when we laughed

And we didn't know that there would be days that were bad

We felt the love and we loved what we had

Not all the money we stash

We wouldn't fight back the tears when we were sad

Gave everybody a chance

What happened to all the dreams that we had

Never by myself

Couldn't reach me at my cell

Didn't have to work back then

Our parents were the ATMs

When it was easy to be grateful

Whatever we had we were thankful

Didn't worry about the bills

Every now and again I just think back to when

I can hear my parents calling

Picking flowers in the garden

Easy to amuse

Didn't keep up with the news

That was back when rent was cheaper

Dirty t-shirts, beat up sneakers

Everything was new

And not a thing we couldn't do

Heres to the dreams that we had

Back when we laughed and we didn't know that

There would be days that were bad

We felt the love and we loved what we had

Not all the money we stash

We wouldn't fight back the tears when we were sad

Gave everybody a chance

What happened to all the dreams that we had

Heres to the dreams that we had

Back when we laughed and we didn't know that

There would be days that were bad

We felt the love and we loved what we had

Not all the money we stash

We wouldn't fight back the tears when we were sad

Gave everybody a chance

What happened to all the dreams that we had
