Lyrics
We never saw 'em holdin' hands
We never observed them holding hands.
or kissin' all that much
There wasn't much visible affection like kissing, but they must have loved each other.
But they must a dug each other,
Despite the lack of outward displays, they had a deep connection.
Cause heck there were five of us
They had five children, indicating a strong family bond.
Momma held fort down, while daddy went to work
Mom handled things at home while dad worked.
We never thought about what she meant to him
The children didn't consider the significance of their relationship.
or what he meant to her
They didn't ponder what each meant to the other.
Sometimes on Saturday they'd crank up that stereo
Sometimes on Saturdays, they enjoyed music on the stereo.
Grab a stack of old 45 records
They would play old 45 records on the turntable.
and we'd watch 'em put on a show
The family would watch their parents put on a musical performance.
When the needle hit the vinyl
When the needle touched the vinyl record.
Momma's hair came down
Mom's hair would loosen, signaling a more relaxed state.
Daddy came unwound
Dad would unwind, expressing a carefree attitude.
In their own world
They entered their own world.
Just a boy and girl
Just a boy and girl, reliving their youth.
Couldn't believe our eyes
The children were amazed at the transformation.
How they came alive
Witnessing their parents come alive.
When the needle hit the vinyl
When the needle touched the vinyl record.
Five kids on a worn out couch we didn't say a word
Five kids silently sat on a worn-out couch.
Daddy put on "my girl" and he sang it right to her
Dad played "My Girl" and serenaded mom.
Momma she was glowin' Daddy made the perfect moves
Mom glowed, and dad made perfect romantic gestures.
Neither one of them seemed like the mom and dad we knew
They seemed younger, transcending their parental roles.
They both looked younger as they went around and around
Both appeared rejuvenated as they danced.
Under the spell of that poppin' cracklin' sound
Enchanted by the captivating sound of the vinyl record.
When the needle hit the vinyl
When the needle touched the vinyl record.
Momma's hair came down
Mom's hair would loosen, signaling a more relaxed state.
Daddy came unwound
Dad would unwind, expressing a carefree attitude.
In their own world
They entered their own world.
Just a boy and girl
Just a boy and girl, reliving their youth.
Couldn't believe our eyes
The children were amazed at the transformation.
How they came alive
Witnessing their parents come alive.
When the needle hit the vinyl
When the needle touched the vinyl record.
Then somethin' happened when they danced to the slow ones
Something changed when they danced to slow songs.
They got this funny look then said ok kids it's time for bed
They wore a funny look and then told the kids it's bedtime.
When the needle hit the vinyl
When the needle touched the vinyl record.
Momma's hair came down
Mom's hair would loosen, signaling a more relaxed state.
Daddy came unwound
Dad would unwind, expressing a carefree attitude.
In their own world
They entered their own world.
Just a boy and girl
Just a boy and girl, reliving their youth.
Couldn't believe our eyes
The children were amazed at the transformation.
How they came alive
Witnessing their parents come alive.
When the needle hit the vinyl
When the needle touched the vinyl record.
