That Don’t Take Nothin’ From Us

There’s a faraway look in your eyes today

And I know where you’ve gone

You’re visiting a forgotten memory

And there ain’t nothing wrong

You just need a moment to reflect upon

The life that you once had

We can sit quiet while I hold your hand

Then you won’t feel so bad

It’s ok if we talk about them

Ok to share the memories

It’s ok to remember when

It’s just a part of our history

All the people and the places we’ve known

Just made us who we’ve come to be

That don’t take nothin’ from us you know

Cuz I’ve got you here with me

She took my heart and he took yours

It was a long and glorious ride

Then walked right through heaven’s open doors

Leaving us empty inside

They must’ve known that we shouldn’t be alone

That you needed me and I needed you

They sent the angels to bring us home

And find a love brand new

It’s ok if we talk about them

Ok to share the memories

It’s ok to remember when

It’s just a part of our history

All the people and the places we’ve known

Just made us who we’ve come to be

That don’t take nothin from us you know

Cuz I’ve got you here with me
