Back In The Day (May 4, 2010)

Back in the day

I felt that there was nothing I couldn’t do

All my time was mine

to make every single dream come true

And it was good.

Back in the day

It was just about making music,

Creating to inspire

Not too much made me stop

Or even make me too tired.

And it was great.

I remember

Nights out, lots of work, and gigs

And friends

And all-too frequent dates with my love

Just doing what I felt like

Was all we thought of

I realize now there are seasons

For everything

For each time

It’s nice to look back and smile

And laugh

About those times

I’m glad for what I’ve done

Things I’ve been able to do

For when you were born

I knew life was meant to

Be shared now with you.

And in a few months or so

You’ll be turning two

I’m somehow having a bit more time

To get back

Into the groove

Music is more beautiful

Songs just have more meaning

Now that I’m enjoying motherhood

It’s unlike any

Other feeling.

Life now is on a schedule

Things really have to be planned

There’s a lot of compromise

and new things to understand.

I have frozen photos

Of single life and the past

I’ll always cherish

Those memories

And how they’ll always last

But having you close,

There’s really nothing

Like having you near

Dreams are still in the

Making

Of that I’m sure, it’s clear.

Yes,

You’re my inspiration

Life did truly change

And while I’ve left an old life

I wouldn’t have it any other way.
