We Had All the Good Things Going Songtext

von Dolly Parton

(Marvin Shiner - Jerry Monday)

It wasn't very long ago we had a love few people know
And everything was going oh so fine
I trusted you, you trusted me the way that it's supposed to be
But love slipped from us somewhere down the line.

[Chorus]
We had all of the good things going baby
You know we did, everything was fine
Enjoying the taste of the good life
We all look for but few can find.

--- Instrumental ---

It's gone but we can't understand how luck could slip right through our hands
All down the line things seemed so very right
The love we shared through all these years we both knew that we were sincere
Then suddenly it left just overnight.

[Chorus]
We had all of the good things going baby
You know we did, everything was fine
Enjoying the taste of the good life
We all look for but few can find.

--- Instrumental ---

Now that we've gone our separate ways I still recall those brighter days
Days that didn't seem so very long
Neither of us ought to blame we overly know that it's a shame
And all that we had going now is gone.

[Chorus]
We had all of the good things going baby
You know we did, everything was fine
Enjoying the taste of the good life
We all look for but few can find...
