[00:01.10]Years- Beth Nielsen Chapman
[00:23.66]I went home for Christmas to the house that I grew up in
[00:30.03]Going back was something after all these years
[00:36.55]I drove down Monterey street and felt a little sadness
[00:43.21]When I turned left on Laurel and the house appeared
[00:52.20]
[00:52.84]And I snuck up to that rocking chair
[00:56.26]Where the winter sunlight slanted on the screened-in porch
[01:00.88]
[01:05.83]And I stared out past the shade tree
[01:08.91]That my laughing daddy planted on the day that I was born
[01:20.57]
[01:22.04]And I let time go by so slow
[01:34.94]And I made every moment last
[01:48.09]And I thought about years
[01:51.26]How they take so long
[01:54.57]And they go so fast
[02:02.29]Across the street the Randol's oldest daughter must have come home
[02:08.63]Her two boys built a snowman by the backyard swings
[02:15.35]I thought of old man Randol and his Christmas decorations
[02:21.86]And how he used to leave them up 'til early spring
[02:31.42]And I thought of all the summers
[02:34.60]That I paced that porch and swore I'd die of boredom there
[02:44.54]And I thought of what I'd give to feel another summer linger
[02:49.20]
[02:50.76]Where a day feels like a year
[02:58.96]
[03:00.45]And I let time go by so slow
[03:09.67]
[03:13.61]And I made every moment last
[03:26.73]And I thought about years
[03:29.75]How they take so long
[03:33.36]And they go so fast
[03:57.70]Then the door flew open, and my mother's voice was laughing
[04:03.44]As she called back to my daddy, "Come and look who's here"
[04:12.73]And I thought about years
