We were bright-eyed and we were bushy tailed
We were wet behind the ears
We were holding hands at the starting gate
Back there so many years
There were a whole lot of things that we didn't know
We figured they didn't count
I loved you and you loved me
And that was all life was about
We painted the rainbow, put the lights in the stars
You sang "California Dreamin'' while I picked that old guitar
We kissed every morning, made love every night
They say that you can't live on love, but somehow we did alright
We ain't never had much of nothing
As worldly possessions go
Bean bag chairs and lava lamps
And black and white tv shows
An old rollaway bed out on the sleeping porch
Where we shared a lot of real sweet dreams
Just two kids on a sugar high
Feasting on weenies and beans
We painted the rainbow, put the lights in the stars
You sang "California Dreamin'' while I picked that old guitar
We kissed every morning, made love every night
They say that you can't live on love, but somehow we did alright
