There Was A Time

There Was A Time 

There was a time when I thought I would make it 
& there was a time when I thought that I knew 
But now I find that that same old used-to-be 
Is gone & there ain't no easy road 

There was a time long ago, do you remember? 
We used to have so much fun, so much fun 
But now I find that those good ol' days are gone 
Oh no there ain't no easy way 

(x2): 
Don't shed no tears for the hope in your life 
They're only faded memories 
There was a time when I thought I could change things 
There was a time when I thought I could do 
But youth was just another day in my life 
Oh no there ain't no easy road
