D. Monell Edwards - Back Then

This is dedicated to my friends
Salted heaven laughter lights under the stars
Young and fearless chasing dreams in those navy bars
Tight knit crew brothers in arms hearts full of pride
Memories etched in time forever by my side
Club nights in town dressed to the nines
A DJ spinning vinyl good times on our minds
House parties in the barracks laughter filled the air
Secret rendezvous under the moon that love was everywhere
Those days are gone but the memories remain
A bittersweet symphony a nostalgic refrain
Wish we could turn back time and re-live those nights
Your life moves on and our paths take flight
Back then we were young and free
Invincible it seemed to me
Bonfires on the beach stories we'd share
Those days I'll always hold dear
Back then we were young and free
Invincible it seemed to me
Bonfires on the beach stories we'd share
Those days I'll always hold dear
Late night talks secrets we confide
Leaning on each other through thick and thin side by side
Those bonds we forged unbreakable so strong
A brotherhood that time can't erase it's where we belong fam
Whidbey island to phoenix our journey we roamed
And no matter where we landed we always found our home
In the camaraderie the laughter the tears
Those navy days the best of my years
Miss my bros Kevin Vince Doug Shannon Javier Step and Mike
Can't forget Aaron DJ and James
Still keep in touch with my sis Alison
Who will always be a friend for life
Those days are gone but the memories remain
A bittersweet symphony a nostalgic refrain
Wish we could turn back time and re-live those nights
But life moves on and our paths take flight
Back then we were young and free
Invincible it seemed to me
Bonfires on the beach stories we'd share
Those days I'll always hold dear
Back then we were young and free
Invincible it seemed to me
Bonfires on the beach stories we'd share
Those days I'll always hold dear
Sometimes I close my eyes and I can still see it all
Anchors away we sailed the seven seas
Storms we weathered battles we wore memories like these
The time marches on the tides of life they change
Yet the spirit of those days forever will remain
So raise a glass to the past to the friends we once knew
May the bonds we formed forever remain true
From in the tapestry of life a thread so bright
The memories of back then forever remain
Back then we were young and free
Invincible it seemed to me
Bonfires on the beach stories we'd share
Those days I'll always hold dear
Sometimes I close my eyes and I can still see it all
The faces of my brothers smiling back at me
Though we're scattered now across land and sea
A brotherhood that will last for eternity
