Way Back When Lyrics
Victor: I remember a simpler time
Before our path had turned to crime
Life was humble but true
You and I were all that we knew
Before the darkness of night
There was laughter and light
Carla: I remember those early years
Before our life was filled with tears
I knew my days of the week
By the dishes we’d eat
On Fridays we made feijoada
On Sundays it was enchilada
Victor and Carla: La vida It can be so strange
What you think you want can change
All the mistakes that have been made
Leave scars that will Never fade
And so for now let’s just pretend
It’s way back when
For one last meal let’s just pretend
It’s way back when
Elena (speaking): I know that smell. Moqueca.
Victor(speaking): You always did have a great nose.
Carla (speaking): How would you know that?
Victor(speaking): I spent many days at the palace as a young boy.
Esteban, Princess Elena and I would play together in the garden.
Elena (speaking): Hide‐and‐seek. And then we would cook all afternoon.
Carla (speaking): You and Princess Elena? Friends?
Victor(speaking): Once upon a time. Mm, delicious as always.
Elena (speaking): Although you still over‐pepper.
All: La vida It can be so strange
What you think you know can change
All the mistakes That have been made
Leave scars that will Never fade
And so for now let’s just pretend
It’s way back when
For one last meal let’s just pretend
It’s way back when
Elena: Life was easier then
Carla: Could it be that way again?
Victor: One day it may come again
All: Like we were way back when
