	Story Behind the Song Reflections on childhood and putting things in the past. Lyrics The Way It Was I was just now thinking back again To our old house on Malta Ave. Sights and smells and sounds come flooding back from the fountain where all my thoughts begin My father worked so hard to keep us afloat in our leaky boat My mother worked so hard with so many kids, that's what she did way back then Memories are seen through childish eyes that couldn't see the whole picture Right or wrong, those days are gone No point regressing, second guessing things that weren't there Now bygones are gone by; the way it was is the way it is Even as sleeping dogs lie, the way it was is just the way, the way it is now You carried me Not because you had to Because you wanted to How can I thank you My father worked so hard The way it was is just the way it is My mother worked so hard The way it was is just the way, the way it is now In your old age Live the way you want to Don't doubt what you believe God knows you've earned it
