lyrics

GOOD TIMES

I’m filling up the buckets
So let it rain, oh let it rain
We’ll keep it for the winter
Till it all gets washed away
And didn’t you tell me
It would get better every day
But I’m filling up the buckets
Just in case

I’ll sing you something simple
Not enough to make you cry
Maybe just a melody
Just to make the time go by
If this is just a movie
Then the credits never lie
So I’ve been filling buckets making sure we don’t run dry

Remember in the springtime
Mama laughing on the lake
I saw it all this morning
It was as real as I could take
Tell me something darling
She wouldn’t visit me that way...
Don’t you think the good times must be coming back to stay?
