Henry's Songbook

Remember when the music came from wooden boxes
Strung with silver wires
And as we sang the words would set our minds on fire
For we believed in things
And so we'd sing

Remember when the music brought us all together
To stand inside the rain
As we joined our hands we would meet in the refrain
For we had dreams to live
And we had hopes to give

All the times I've listened
All the times I've heard
All the melodies I'm missing
All those magic words
All those potent voices
All the choices we had then
How I'd love to find
We had that kind of choice again

Do you remember when the music was a glow on the horizon
Of every new-born babe
And as the sun came up to chase the night away
Life was good
For we knew we could

Do you remember when the music brought the night across the valley
As the day went down
And as we hummed the melody we'd be safe inside the sound
And so we'd sleep
For we had dreams to keep

I know something's coming
It's more than just a dream
And it's more than just tomorrow
And it's more than where we've been
It offers us a promise
It's telling everyone
I know that we've got something here
Worth believing in

Do you remember when the music came from wooden boxes
Strung with silver wires
