Don't Forget The Good Times
Dave Dudley · Other Songs - Dave Dudley
From time to time the pass will cross your mind
Don't let the life turn you bitter don't think only of the past
Don't forget the good times that we had
Don't forget the good times that we had before all the bad times came along
You have many old mem'ries they all can't be bad
So don't forget the good times that we had
[ guitar - strings ]We had many laughs together before every tear we shed
But the laugh has died and then our love was dead
It'll be easy to remember the goodbye in the bed
But don't forget the good times that we had
Don't forget the good times that we had...
Don't forget the good times that we had
