Woah that's my mom and pa on the wall, smiling And that's the only photo ever taken of them There they old, and though they are grey, That's only a moment in a lifetime of days And nobody brought a camera On their wedding day Nobody captured the range of emotion And colors as the sun set on the bay And they don't have proof of their anxious youth How they threw themselves together in giddy haste They can only remember that day in september The jitters and the daisies and the lace La-de da-de daaaa
Woah that's my mom and pa on the wall, smiling And that's the only photo ever taken of them There they old, and though they are grey, That's only a moment in a lifetime of days And in eighteen fifty-five I was born into their lives Eyes as wide and blue as the atlantic I have a picture in my mind, A tiny dress out on the line He called her mama, And she thought it was romantic A storm came upon our silk And I was cryin' inside for milk She ran to me while he pulled down the laundry And for all the rain and tears We would face in family years I got a thousand happy pictures I got a thousand happy pictures with me Oh i got a thousand happy pictures with me
