Stanley M. Fried: There Were Times

there were times

There were times

And there were times

Ah yes, there were times

And there were times

And there were times

There

Were

Times

Mmmm

There were times

And there were times

Ah, there were times

Yes, there were times

What times

What times they were

Those times

Those were times

There were times those were times

There were times those were times

And

there

were

times

Ah,

There

Were

Times

Not like the times we have now

Not like this moment

Those times were times

And there were times

Those times

What times they were

To have the time sometime to make time for a little time

That's a good time

Well,

There were times

And there were times, as I said

Those times

They weren't like these times

Nope

Those were times

And there were times

And

Sometimes

There were times

Not enough times I'd say

Not enough times to tell

Anytime's enough time if it's the right time

If it's the right time for you

Or for me

But how many times can be the right time?

If it were the right time at that time or at any other time at that time

If it were then which time was it?

That time?

That other time?

But

There were times

And there were times
