Back in time there’s a place I remember
Feels so long ago
Everything I imagined was in my reach
Knew that it was gonna last evermore

All I can say, yeah
How the good shines through
They were some good years

It went on and one just like an ocean
Made you feel so good
But then just like it rose, then it was fallin’
Guess that nothing lasts the way it should

All I can say, yeah
How the good shines through
They were some good years
(They wеre some good years)

How thе good, how the good, how the good shines through
How the good, how the good, how the good shines through
How the good, how the good, how the good shines through

Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Oh, tell me how the good shines

How the good, how the good, how the good shines through
How the good, how the good, how the good shines through
How the good, how the good, how the good shines through

Wonder why I don’t owe pain and sorrow
Even in my mind
There must be some little room inside my heart for
Memories that I just can’t leave behind

All I can say, yeah
How the good shines through
They were some good years
(They were some good years)
It’s all I can say, yeah
How the good shines through

How the good, how the good, how the good shines
How the good, how the good, how the good shines
How the good, how the good, how the good shines through

They were some good, they were some good
They were some good years
(I recall, I recall)
They were some good, they were some good
They were some good years
(I recall, I recall)
They were some good, they were some good
They were some good years
(I recall, I recall)

They were some good, they were some good
They were some good years
(I recall, I recall)
They were some good, they were some good
They were some good years
(I recall, I recall)
They were some good, they were some good
They were some good years
(I recall, I recall)
