Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say
Did families really bow their heads and pray
Did daddies really never go away
Oh, oh Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

Grandpa, everything is changing fast
We call it progress, but I just don't know
And Grandpa, Let's wander back into the past
And paint me a picture of long ago

Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say  and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away
Oh, oh Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
