[Pre-Chorus]

I can hear my parents calling

Picking flowers in the garden

Easy to amuse

Didn't keep up with the news

Oh, yeah

That was back when rent was cheaper

Dirty T-Shirts, beat-up sneakers

Everything was new

And not a thing we couldn't do

[Chorus]

Here's to the dreams that we had (That we had)

Back when we laughed and we didn't know that

There would be days that were bad (That were bad)

We felt the love that we loved, that we had

Not all the money we stashed (We stashed)

We wouldn't fight back the tears when we're sad

Gave everybody a chance (A chance)

What happened to all the dreams that we had?

[Verse]

Never by myself

Couldn't reach me on my cell-ell-ell-ell-ell

Didn't have to work back then

Our parents were the ATM's

When it was easy to be grateful

Whatever we had, we were thankful

Didn't worry about the bills

Every now and again, I just think back to when

[Pre-Chorus]

I can hear my parents calling

Picking flowers in the garden

Easy to amuse

Didn't keep up with the news

Oh, yeah

That was back when rent was cheaper

Dirty T-Shirts, beat-up sneakers

Everything was new

And not a thing we couldn't do

[Chorus]

Here's to the dreams that we had (That we had)

Back when we laughed and we didn't know that

There would be days that were bad (That were bad)

We felt the love that we loved, that we had

Not all the money we stashed (We stashed)

We wouldn't fight back the tears when we're sad

Gave everybody a chance (A chance)

What happened to all the dreams that we had?

Here's to the dreams that we had (That we had)

Back when we laughed and we didn't know that

There would be days that were bad (That were bad)

We felt the love that we loved, that we had

Not all the money we stashed (We stashed)

We wouldn't fight back the tears when we're sad

Gave everybody a chance (A chance)

What happened to all the dreams that we had?
