What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
(verse 1)
2
a bottle of wine and two glasses
3
potato salad and that old picnic basket
4
sunday afternoon spread a blanket for so many years that we tend to lose track of it
5
those years turn dreams into memories
6
much oblige for every one you spent with me
7
cant believe the kids that were at our feet all moved out and began their own family
8
it still feels like just yesterday
9
i stood in that mirror practicin' what to say
10
just know when i live for the moment
11
my eyes glowed, held out my hand and felt yours on it
12
you dont know the power a touch like that
13
you have on a lovestruck lad
14
everything i ever used to care about fade to the back
15
i feel that way to this day, matter of fact
16
(chorus)
17
laughter and tears we had through the years
18
like magnets, attract without fear
19
the sun .light that magically appeared
20
i recall it all and i'm glad that you're here
21
laughter and tears we had through the years
22
the feeling of companion is near
23
the first touch, that cant be compared
24
i recall and i'm glad that you're here
25
(verse 2)
26
that old tree witnessed the first love we made
27
i pulled out my pocket knife, gave it my name
28
but like all trees, he went and grew rings and that carving got harder to read from far away
29
and the stress of this world, it pressed you
30
made you forget you possessed something special
31
and all of this mess, you tended to neglect the blessing that slept directly next to you
32
so i'm painfully ignored by a girl masquerading as the lady i adore
33
and even though i lived as your husband
34
i cant help missin' the kiss i fell in love with
35
what was once huggin' and kissin'
36
one day made way to fussin' and bickerin'
37
now cussin' and no one's listenin'
38
lost all grip on love in the midst of it
39
(chorus)
40
laughter and tears we had through the years
41
the challenges you have interfere
42
the heartbreak and anguish we shared
43
i recall it all and i'm glad that you're here
44
laughter and tears we had through the years
45
we snapped and reacted out of fear
46
broken promises can't be repaired
47
i recall it all and i'm glad that you're here
48
(verse 3)
49
those things that we say when we argue
50
never go away, they become part of you
51
furthermore with every new scar it grew ever harder to open my heart to you
52
i need you to believe me when i tell you that
53
i didn't step out on you to get you back
54
i was just hungry for affection that the first time another gave attention, i was in the trap
55
i let her stand in for you
56
trying to recapture the magic that i knew
57
thats why i fell for it because
58
when she held me in her arms, i pretended they were yours
59
i dont fault you for being mad at me
60
we were a family, i put you through a tragedy
61
can't blame you for losing sanity
62
rolling me over in my sleep and stabbing me
63
(chorus)
64
laughter and tears we had through the years
65
everytime our anniversary nears
66
you show up with a picnic basket and a beer
67
i recall it all and i'm glad that you're here
68
laughter and tears we had, it appears
69
the best talks i've had with you in years
70
are right here where you laid my casket my dear
71
i'll save you a place and catch you when you're here
