Let the Good Times Roll
Eternal Moments: Tanya Tucker's Nostalgic Ode to Love and Time
Lyrics
It opens up with the same old scene
Describing a familiar scene that sets the stage for memories.
You pushing me on that tire swing
Recalling a moment of playfulness, symbolized by a tire swing.
Up so high I could almost touch the sky
Expressing the exhilaration of being elevated, metaphorically reaching for the sky.
The picture fades to you and me
Transitioning to a shared moment of intimacy behind a tree.
Caught stealing a kiss behind the tree
Recreating a stolen kiss, emphasizing its vividness.
It's so real it's like you never said goodbye
Highlighting the realism of the memory, feeling like the goodbye never happened.
Every night I turn the lights down low and take out that old video
Engaging in a nightly ritual of reminiscence, using a video as a conduit.
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow and let the good times roll
Symbolically reliving joyful moments by embracing a memento.
The road moves on and it always will
Acknowledging the continuous progression of life's journey.
But I can make time stand still
Asserting the ability to suspend time and recreate past experiences.
I can turn it back and make things just the same
Expressing the desire to revert to a time when things were unchanged.
And though you're gone, you're still here
Asserting the enduring presence of a departed loved one.
You're far away but always near, I can see your face
Highlighting the emotional closeness despite physical distance.
And hear you call my name , freeze frame
Describing a moment frozen in memory, emphasizing a visual and auditory freeze frame.
Every night I turn the lights down low and take out that old video
Repeating the ritual of reliving memories through a video and personal item.
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow and let the good times roll
Reiterating the act of embracing nostalgia and cherishing past joys.
When it comes to an end, I can play it all again
Anticipating the end of the video but emphasizing the ability to replay memories.
You went away but the good old days are here to stay
Acknowledging the departure of a loved one but asserting the lasting impact of happy times.
Every night I turn the lights down low and take out that old video
Repeating the nightly routine of revisiting memories through a video and personal item.
I hold your pillow close in the TV's glow and let the good times roll
Reaffirming the commitment to reliving and preserving joyful moments.
Now it's time to turn the lights down low and let the good times roll
Transitioning to a proactive stance, encouraging the continuation of creating positive memories.
Let 'em roll
Emphasizing the encouragement to let positive experiences continue to unfold.
