Let's Play Remember
Journey Through Nostalgia: Let's Play Remember with Tom T. Hall
Lyrics
Let's play remember, let's play remember
Invitation to reminisce and recall memories
Remember the way that it's played
Reflect on the proper way memories are recalled
Remember the day that we went to the moon
Recall the historic day of the moon landing
We went to the moon in the middle of June
Specify the month of the moon landing (June)
And as we blew over we met an old [Incomprehensible]
Encounter an old [Incomprehensible], leaving details ambiguous
I know you remember that now
Confirming the memory and its significance
Let's play remember, let's play remember
Reiteration of the invitation to remember
Remember the way that it's played
Reiteration of reflecting on the proper way memories are recalled
Remember the time we were seven feet tall
Recall a time when both individuals felt empowered and confident
We used to pick apples and play basket ball
Engage in youthful activities such as picking apples and playing basketball
Our beds were too short so we slept on the floor
Describe an unusual sleeping arrangement due to short beds
And you bumped your head on the door
Recall a humorous incident involving bumping the head on a door
Let's play remember, let's play remember
Reiteration of the invitation to remember
Remember the way that it's played
Reiteration of reflecting on the proper way memories are recalled
Remember the time that we dressed up like clowns
Recall a playful time of dressing up as clowns
Our smiles were real big and our noses were round
Highlight the joyful appearance with big smiles and round noses
We didn't get hurt every time we fell down
Emphasize the resilience and lack of harm in falling down
I know you remember the clown
Reconfirming the memory of dressing up as clowns
Remember the time we were both on TV
Recall a shared experience of being on television
And every one said that they love you and me
Highlight the positive reception and love from the audience
We sang and we dance, and we played and we grim
Enumerate various activities performed on television
And they told us they loved us again
Reiterate the love expressed by the audience
Remember the time we were both millionaires
Recall a fantasy of being wealthy with no worries or cares
We didn't have worries, we didn't have cares
Emphasize the charitable actions undertaken as millionaires
We fed all the hungry, the poor and the weak
Describe the act of helping the needy
Next day we were back on the street
Highlight the abrupt return to a less fortunate reality
Oh well, let's play remember, let's play remember
Final reiteration of the invitation to remember
Remember the way that it's played
Reiteration of reflecting on the proper way memories are recalled
