'73 Songtext
von Jennifer Hanson

Southern California, standing in the drive
A picture perfect moment frozen in time
Mom holding Dad, Dad holding me, in ′73

There's me in that striped dress beneath the big boy sign
Bottom of the Polaroid says fall of ′79
And that's the night that Dad tried to explain to me
Why he had to leave

Everything changes, hey that's reality
Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be
If they′d stayed in love like they were in ′73


Here's pictures opening presents, December ′83
Some with Mom and some with Dad, two different Christmas trees
And there's me and my new half-brother in his baby blue outfit
Winter ′86

Mom and I, we both survived those awkward teenage years
Graduation '91, Dad flew back to be there
There′s me in my cap and gown standing between them
Three of us again

Everything changes, hey that's reality
Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be
If they'd stayed in love
Everything changes, hey that′s reality
Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be
If they′d stayed in love like they were in '73
