Things Were So Much Better When They Weren’t So Good - Joyce Jedlicka and Mike Terry Copyright © 2018

Times were hard when we started out,
But somehow we made it through.
With a love like ours, we had no doubt,
Someday our dreams would come true.

I still recall our first place,
A little apartment on the second floor.
There was so much love in your face,
I could never ask for more.

The years went by, and we found success,
We both won fortune and fame.
It’s bittersweet, and I must confess,
Sometimes I wish no one knew our name

Now things are so good I can’t stand it,
Money is all that counts with you.
This isn’t the way I planned it
When I thought about our dreams coming true.

Maybe it went to your head,
Maybe to your heart.
I wish it had brought us closer
Instead Of driving us apart.

The years went by, and we found success,
More than we ever dreamed we would.
It’s bittersweet, and I must confess,
Things were better… when they weren’t so good

Now we’re living the high life,
With more money than love.
Soon we’ll no longer be husband and wife—
Just what were you thinking of?

We had all we ever wanted,
But for you, it was never enough.
Now I’ll always be haunted
By the memory of our love.

The years went by, and we found success,
We moved to an upscale neighborhood.
And even though I tried my best,
Things were better… when they weren’t so good

Now life has no reason or rhyme,
The ground has fallen away where we once stood
Our future has run out of time,
And things were better… when they weren’t so good.

Now I’m writing you this goodbye letter,
Oh, I never thought I would,
Just to say things were so much better
When they weren’t so good…

Yes, things were better… When they weren’t so good.
