Sean Forbes - Can't Take Away The Good Times Lyrics

All the money in the world
Can't make it happen
No miracle can erase it
No lapse can fade it
Earthquake can't shake it
Can't be held under by a weight
Stronger than a hammer banging on a nail
Your baby being born
The first time you met your girl
The first time you played a gig
The first time you drove a car
The first time you snuck out of the house
When the folks were sleeping
The first time you realized
You were just a human being
Can't take away the good times
You've already, you've already had
Can't take away the good times
You've already, you've already had
The time when water came pouring through the ceiling
The time in church I ripped my pants when I was kneeling
The time Jehovah's, came over to the house
Hid behind the couch until they went next door
The Christmas the tree fell down
Dad tied it to the wall
Then while sleeping
Mom heard it come crashing down
When my older brother, shaved off his brows
When I was at college hitting every party in brick town
Falling in love was still the best of all
Such a vivid recall
No hesitation, no stall
It was the first time in my life
I felt nothing wrong
Can't take away the good times
You've already, you've already had
Can't take away the good times
You've already, you've already had
You can repossess my home
You can repossess my car
But you can't empty all the memories, that I've had so far
The crazy characters I've met in my Father's bar
Working with the cooks in the kitchen
While I was doing dishes
The regulars' crazy antics
I couldn't script this
Waitresses, I'm happily married now
Let's not get into this
It's one of those magical moments
That could never happen again
When I tell people about it
I never know where to begin
My love of history
You can always quiz me
Not just in a book
Mostly about my family
One left too soon, so sadly
And I miss him badly
The times with him
I will always keep having
His empty chair at the table
I still visualize him still sitting there
I will always raise my glass
Raise it to the air
Can't take away the good times
You've already, you've already had
Can't take away the good times
You've already, you've already had
Can't take away the good times
You've already, you've already had
Can't take away the good times
You've already, you've already had
