they don't make years like they used to
I bet you can remember back when you were five or six That year between each Christmas seemed like ten And things that you looked forward to seemed so far away And being grown was a million years back then  That summer between junior-high and high school took three years Twenty more went by till you could drive Oh, they made them good in the old days, some would last forever But the ones they're making now just don't survive  They just don't make years like they used to Strange, you turn around and then they're gone Let's make the most of each moment together 'Cause the years they're making now don't last that long  It seems like only yesterday we held our first born child Today he's going off to school, you know And that favorite photograph of you and me that New Year's eve Was that lost year or fifteen years ago  When we were still just sweethearts, the days would pass so slow Tonight, time found us snuggled up so close All that time that just stood still, oh, so long ago Is flying by now when you need it most  They just don't make years like they used to Strange you turn around and then they're gone Let's make the most of each moment together 'Cause the years they're making now don't last that long No, the years they're making now don't last that long
