Home Movies
(c) Mitch Townley
(v1)
My dad thought he was Stephen Spielberg
With that pawn shop movie camera his hand
We’d watch the moments that he caught
On a white bed sheet eating Jiffy Pop
And cover our ears when the projector jammed
(v2)
The soundtrack was our conversations.
The play by play narration never changed
Sister always smiled playing peekaboo
Goats scared my brother at the petting zoo
Little league me safe again at second base
(chorus)
Home movies, they always remember
Home movies, the Hist’ry Channel of your life
Might only show the best of times
But those are the best ones to rewind
To remind your heart what holds it together
Home movies always remember
(v3)
A bare bottom baby sister on a bearskin rug
Tripping face first into my happy third birthday cake
Brothers dressed like twins hunting easter eggs
3 PJed kids waiting on the steps
For another Kodak moment Christmas day
(Repeat Chorus)
(v4)
The reels went to VHS and then DVD
I added a soundtrack of us watching them
And since dad’s been gone, when I visit mom
On the last night we have Jiffy Pop
And watch memories just to hear his voice again
(Repeat Chorus)
