[00:00.35] The memories are there
[00:01.98] Somewhere
[00:02.94] Find some pictures you can share
[00:05.49] Keepsakes of the life that's
[00:07.23] There behind her
[00:10.37]
[00:13.68] Keep it light at first that's best
[00:16.14] Careful that she's not distressed
[00:18.72] When the time's right
[00:20.22] Tell the rest
[00:21.45] Remind her
[00:24.07] You'll find her
[00:27.56]
[00:32.23] So let's start with something small
[00:34.87] Something personal and pretty
[00:37.30]
[00:38.30] I bet you'll know these shiny things
[00:41.29]
[00:42.79] They must be tacky trinkets from I guess atlantic city
[00:47.56] No actu'ly di
[00:49.51] They're our wedding rings
[00:51.41] It's going well
[00:52.79] Here's a flower from our wedding
[00:55.28] You were such a sight to see
[00:57.95] And the ceremony everything we'd hoped
[01:01.68] Um dad
[01:03.22] Well that's how I remember it
[01:05.92] So that's how it'll be
[01:08.10] It was raining
[01:09.36] It was portland
[01:10.66] You eloped
[01:11.99] I mean portland
[01:14.03] It's an open book to write here
[01:16.76] It's a life we can restore
[01:18.86]
[01:19.37] We can get back what we had
[01:21.39] And maybe more
[01:22.96]
[01:24.42] Maybe get us back to better
[01:26.62] Than before
[01:28.07]
[01:34.65] Here's the year we drove the west
[01:36.84] We hit the highway in the honda
[01:39.36]
[01:40.02] And I took pictures
[01:41.68] Everywhere we went
[01:43.27]
[01:44.70] We saw the painted desert
[01:47.01] The grand canyon
[01:48.26] And aunt rhonda
[01:50.16] And nat learned what
[01:50.96] Her middle finger meant
[01:53.40]
[01:54.76] Here's the first house that we owned
[01:57.06] On walton way we loved that place
[01:59.68]
[02:00.26] Then we built this one on land
[02:02.34] That we both chose
[02:03.95]
[02:04.92] And here's a pic of all of us
[02:07.72] With smiles on ev'ry face
[02:10.32] And the photoshopping
[02:12.24] Hardly even shows
[02:13.63]
[02:15.64] We're standing by a lake
[02:17.59] With all theses ducks
[02:19.13]
[02:20.93] And who's this little chubby girl
[02:23.71] That's natalie
[02:24.85] This sucks
[02:25.79]
[02:28.65] Gonna get us back to normal
[02:31.12] Gonna get us back to good
[02:33.04]
[02:33.63] Gonna get back what we had
[02:35.54] And maybe more
[02:37.04]
[02:38.72] Gonna get us back to good times
[02:41.30] And forget the things we should
[02:43.79] Gonna get us back to better than before
[02:47.13]
[02:48.85] We can get things back to better than before
[02:52.18]
[02:53.88] All right fine
[02:55.46]
[02:57.96] Here's the headline in the paper
[03:00.34] When you freaked out at the market
[03:02.96] Here's the house on walton way
[03:05.29] After the fire
[03:06.91] Natalie
[03:07.50]
[03:08.09] Here's the damage to the honda
[03:10.65] When you showed me how to park it
[03:13.33] Did we crush somebody's cat beneath the tire
[03:17.13] Yes ours
[03:19.11] Here's dad at my recital
[03:21.33] And we're wond'ring where you are
[03:24.38] I remember this
[03:25.56] I made it to the school
[03:28.05] Wait you remember
[03:29.71] It was the year of too much lithium
[03:32.25]
[03:32.77] I hid out in the car
[03:34.54] Yes
[03:34.98] And your swim meet
[03:36.54] Just last year
[03:37.62] I'm in the pool
[03:38.82] So you are
[03:40.43] You're getting it
[03:41.62] You've got it di
[03:42.98] Hooray
[03:43.80]
[03:45.64] Your life has kind of sucked
[03:47.57] I think
[03:47.99] You got it yay
[03:49.37] Hooray hooray hooray
[03:53.10] Gonna get back what I lost there
[03:55.47] Gonna find out who I was
[03:57.92] Gonna open up the gates and let it pour
[04:01.71]
[04:03.02] And if mem'ry makes things better
[04:05.10] Well mem'ry always does
[04:07.76] Gonna get us back to better than before
[04:11.42]
[04:13.00] Make ev'rything much better than before
[04:15.74] Won't anything be
[04:17.14] Better than before
[04:18.20] I guess is must be
[04:19.73] Better than before
[04:21.72]
[04:22.47] Better than before
