Lyrics The Better Part Of Life - Dolly Parton
We′re
all
together
once
again
For
the
first
time
in
I
don't
know
when
We
were
so
close
once
upon
a
time
There
were
twelve
of
us
kids
at
home
Six
girls,
six
boys
and
dad
and
mom
But
that
was
in
the
better
part
of
life
we′ve
left
behind
Remember
that
old
swimming
hole
Where
we
would
swim
so
long
ago
All
them
possum
grapes
and
muscadines
And
do
you
all
recall
the
time
We
all
got
drunk
on
homemade
wine?
That
was
in
the
better
part
of
life
we've
left
behind
Life
was
simple
for
us
then
If
only
it
could
be
again
How
I
wish
we
could
go
back
in
time
But
time
moves
on
and
nothing
lasts
Except
the
memories
from
the
past
Memories
from
the
better
part
of
life
we've
left
behind
Remember
how
we
talked
as
kids
Of
what
we′d
be
when
we
got
big
And
all
the
dreams
that
we
held
in
our
minds
I
wanted
to
be
a
singing
star
And
you
all
said
that
I′d
go
far
But
that
was
in
the
better
part
of
life
we've
left
behind
Remember
all
the
fun
we
had
Back
when
they
say
times
were
bad
And
life
was
good
to
us
and
things
were
fine
We
had
fun
and
we
had
love
And
a
mom
and
dad
to
care
for
us
But
that
was
in
the
better
part
of
life
we′ve
left
behind
Life
was
simple
for
us
then
If
only
it
could
be
again
How
I
wish
we
could
go
back
in
time
But
life
goes
on
and
nothing
lasts
Except
the
memories
from
the
past
Memories
from
the
better
part
of
life
we've
left
behind
Sweet
memories
from
the
better
part
of
life
we′ve
left
behind.
