'73 Lyrics - Singles - Jennifer Hanson

Southern California, standin' in the drive 

A picture perfect moment, frozen in time 

Mom holdin' dad, dad holdin' me in '73 

There's me in that striped dress, beneath the Big Boy sign 

Bottom of the Polaroid says fall of '79 

Yeah, that's the night that Dad tried to explain to me 

Why he had to leave 

Everythin changes, hey, that's reality 

Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be 

If they'd a stayed in love like they were in '73 

Here's pictures openin' presents, December '83 

Some with mom and some with dad, two different Christmas trees 

And there's me and my new half brother 

In his baby blue outfit, winter '86 

Mom and I, we both survived those awkward teenage years 

Graduation '91, dad flew back to be there 

There's me in my cap and gown 

Standin' between them, the three of us again 

Everythin changes, hey, that's reality 

Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be 

If they'd a stayed in love 

Everythin changes, hey, that's reality 

Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be 

If they'd 'a stayed in love like they were in '73 

'73, '73, '73
