VHS Lyrics by Ben Caplan

Old News

0

[Verse 1]
\nI stay up late for my auction bid
\nGently used, a VCR
\nLike Christmas morning for a kid
\nI type the numbers on my credit card
\nFill my name and my address
\nPay for next-day delivery
\nHarry barks at the UPS
\nHarry and me keep our own company
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nTreasures buried in my mind
\nThey come alive and fill the screen
\nMemories I had left behind
\nIt's been years since I'd last seen
\nThe places that I used to go
\nThe faces that I used to know
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nThe basement shelves are in a mess
\nJoan would tear a strip off mе
\nStacks of books and VHS
\nUnder the dust, a memory
\nThе labels peel, the cases fade
\nEvery tape a new surprise
\nBirthday parties, friends we made
\nBabies grow before my eyes
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nTreasures buried in my mind
\nThey come alive and fill the screen
\nAnd when it ends, I press rewind
\nIt's been years since I'd last seen
\nThe places that I used to go
\nThe faces that I used to know
\n
\n[Instrumental Break]
\n
\n[Verse 5]
\nThe final show to end the night
\nOur wedding day in late July
\nJoanie's dress of lily white
\nFast and forward, the good times fly
\nFor every photo in our book
\nShe held the camera and made us smile
\nNow I remember how she looked
\nI haven't seen her in a long, long while
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nTreasures buried in my mind
\nThey come alive and fill the screen
\nWhen it ends, I press rewind
\nIt's been years since I'd last seen
\nThe places that I used to go
\nThe faces that I used to know
\n
\n[Outro]
\nJoanie in her wedding dress
\nShe visits me on VHS\n\n
