about

About a woman that looks back on her life with her husband and children, the places they have lived, friends they have made and now they are older and retiring and moving to a new place where they make new friends and have wonderful experiences. She treasures every stage of their lives and can say they were happy in the early days, happy raising children, happy as the get older and grow up and happy that they are having new experiences and loving every minute.

lyrics

Packing up boxes it’s time for a change
Sad to say goodbye but our memories remain
Of this place where together
We made the most beautiful life

You were happy then
I was happy then

We had land in the woods
That looked over the lake
Where our hopes came to life
And our dreams they took stake

We built a house and we filled it
With family and friends
So together we could live
Our best life, oh it was the best life

And the kids were all wild
They forged bonds made to last
For years it transpired just as we desired
And our home filled with laughter and joy and so much love

You were happy then
I was happy then

The fires in the pit
Could be seen up to Mars
There were races to catch the most fireflies in jars
All of these moments forever etched in our minds

You were happy then
We were happy then

And now we have moved on to a new foreign land
Where the people come together and offer their hands
Before you know it your family
Has grown in the blink of an eye

We are happy now
We are happy now

And we’re as happy now in a new kind of way
No longer sad to say goodbye
To those good old days
Or to the place where our lives truly began

We are as happy now, as we were back then
We are as happy now, as we were back then
