## Lyrics
[verse]
Old photographs are fading in a drawer
Faces of the ones we don't see anymore
But every line and every crease
Still holds a little piece of peace

[chorus]
These were the best of times
Even when the world was hard to climb
We held on tight, we made it through
The best of times were spent with you

[verse]
The house is quieter than it used to be
Empty chairs where family used to be
But when I close my eyes I still can hear
Laughter echo through the years

[chorus]
These were the best of times
Even when the world was hard to climb
We held on tight, we made it through
The best of times were spent with you

[bridge]
Maybe the best of times aren't gone for good
Maybe they live on the way they should
In every story that we choose to tell
In every memory we hold so well

[chorus]
These were the best of times
Even when the world was hard to climb
We held on tight, we made it through
The best of times were spent with you
