I can still remember when all was fine
But the pleasure of the moment
it cannot stop time
But I remember endless acres
and the cold Kansas wind
Deep plowed under furrows
so soon to grow again
The yellow of the wheat field
and the greenness of the grass
My memories clip the blue sky
like a glimmer of the past
If I could just go back there
in time much more than space
To hear my mother's laughter
and to touch my father's face
It seems like a lot to me,
what 30 years have shown
How nothing lasts forever
and love is all we own
It seems like a lot to me,
what 30 years have shown
Put it all together
and love is all we own
There it all was simple
with little to regret
No promises were broken
and the dew was wet
If I could just be young again,
skip rocks across the lake
Grab lightnin' bugs while the sun goes down
and keep my friends awake
Sunsets by the barnyard
and the dark means day is done
But the night won't last much longer
than it took to hide the sun
When I feel like I'm trapped here
and I cannot find the past
Well it almost takes me back there
just to hear my family laugh
It seems like a lot to me,
what 30 years have shown
How nothing lasts forever
and love is all we own
It seems like a lot to me,
what 30 years have shown
Put it all together
and love is all we own
It seems like a lot to me,
what 30 years have shown
How nothing lasts forever
and love is all we own
It seems like a lot to me,
what 30 years have shown
Put it all together
and love is all we own
