Train Down Memory Lane

If I bought you a ticket
For a ride on a train
One that could take you
Down any memory lane
Let me know the place you’d go
And tell me the time
Who you’d see what might be said
Last night I took mine

The first stop was to see my dad
There he stood in our old backyard
Wearin’ his old jean jacket I knew so well
This would be hard
He gave me a big hug and he said
I am proud of who you’ve become
And I am sorry I had to leave
This earth when you were so young

Ain’t it nice when you dream in the night
Of someone dear?
Then you wake and your heart it does ache
Wishing they were here

Next it was my grandparent’s farm
And endless fields that I would roam
Every summer I’d go there
I recall the love in their home
I saw them in the distance
Smiling, waving, so happy
Just like when a little boy would arrive
On a big jet plane and they’d meet me

Ain’t it nice when you dream in the night
Of someone dear?
Then you wake and your heart it does ache
Wishing they were here

Ain’t it nice when you dream in the night
Of someone dear?
Then you wake and your heart it does ache
Wishing they were here

So where would your ride take you?
And tell me the time
Who would you see what might be said?
Last night I took mine
