THE WAY IT USED TO BE
This lyric was written by
Jim Robertson circa 1979/'80

There�ll be a big fire a-blazing soon
and if you�ve got the time I�d like you to
come on in and share the warmth with me.
I might not be the most social guy,
but when friends come �round
I like to try to show them a good time
the way it used to be.
I�d trade skiing stories with the
boys out back,
while in the kitchen the women�ll yackity-yack
and we�ll all get together when supper�s good and baked.
And afterwards we�ll all sit �round
and watch the fire as it�s burning down
and the snoring dog will keep us entertained.
I got no T.V. , aint got no video
games,
but my big stone fireplace
should take the place
if you appreciate the way it used to be.
So if you�re all alone on this windy
night,
come on in and share the light
and the warmth from the fire
the way it used to be.
