LYRICS:
When we see our reflection… it can take us by surprise.
I think because we see ourself through an 18 year-old’s eyes.
Back then we had no patience now we try to take things slow
Perhaps because our journey hasn’t that much more to go
.. or maybe ‘cause each minute seems much shorter now…
I wish that I could travel back in time some-how
CHORUS
We’d all like to go back to 1973
Our whole life stood before us Our hearts and minds were free.
If we could only get back there to 1973
I’d move in down the street from you
and Baby, maybe you’d go out with me
We weren’t just Rich or Poor back then. there was a thriving middle class
’til the OPEC Arab nations made us wait in line for gas
In spite of that Recession, 4-Grand is all we paid
to BUY a brand new LTD and tour the USA
To take that ride today would cost you MORE than 40 grand
but the car you’re in would prob’bly be imported from Japan
CHORUS
We’d all like to go back to 1973
Our whole life stood before us Our hearts and minds were free.
If we could only get back there to 1973
I’d take you to the senior prom
and that’s when you’dµ fall in love with me
High School was finally over I had an answer for everything
but I went on to college just to cut the apron strings
Yet, every day brought something new that I never knew before
from the joy and pain of young love to losing friends in a stupid war
When you include all our other loved ones who have died
it makes us feel much closer to the rest who stayed and cried
CHORUS
We’d all like to go back to 1973
Our whole life stood before us ur hearts and minds were free.
If we could only get back there to 1973
We would have gotten married then
and raised a family
We could have had a child and named her Millie, late in 74
and she could join her sister Lolly, who was born the year before
CHORUS
I wish that we could go back to 1973
Our whole life stood before us Our hearts and minds were free.
If we could only get back there to 1973
Our lives would have been wonderful
If you had been with me …
since 1973

Ain't Wastin' Time

All my life I been waiting just to love you
Hangin’ ‘round and wastin’ time for sure
I never knew a time when I was happy
but I never knew ‘til I walked in your door.
You opened up my eyes to the future,
You gave me all that I’d been searching for.
You showed me that my past was truly over
and now I can’t see wastin’ time no more.
The time has come for You and Me
I ain’t wastin’ time no more. (x2)
You pulled me out of darkness into sunshine
I was very nearly blinded that’s for sure.
You held me in your arms and loved me sweetly.
Even when I left you cryin’ at the door
You opened up my eyes to the future,
You gave me all that I been searching for.
You showed me that my past was truly over
and now I can’t see wastin’ time no more.
The time has come for You and Me
I ain’t wastin’ time no more. (x2)
SOLO)
My life was like a ship lost on the ocean
Your love a guiding lighthouse on the shore.
Your arms became my sweet and gentle harbor
The calm amidst the vi’lence of the storm.
That’s when I knew I could be with you forever
‘cause you’re the girl that I been searching for.
That’s when I knew my past was truly over
and I can’t imagine wastin’ time no more.
The time has come for You and Me I ain’t wastin’ time no more.
The time has come for You and Me I ain’t wastin’ time no more.
