Lyrics

He was two weeks gone when a friend reached out
To share footage they had found
Of a summer night like we often had at a familiar old campground
Dad was strumming, singing a tune, little me there by his side
Time stamp read: July Eighth, Nineteen Ninety-Five
It cast me back to Mickey fishing poles
And ridin' bikes around the lake
Our dads gathered 'round picking bluegrass songs
Us kids were weavin' through their legs
Those mem'ries run together, now, could be Ninety-six or Ninety-nine
Or maybe it was July Eighth, Nineteen Ninety-Five
A fragment of the days gone by captured on a screen
Thanks to him, my life plays back through melodic memories
What I'd give for one more chance to hear him sing it live
Like on the tape from July Eighth, Nineteen Ninety-Five
When I was young, I took for granted the songs I heard him sing
As I grew to appreciate, they grew few and far between
Now, I watch and reminisce those days, three minutes at a time
When I was six on Seven Eight, Nineteen Ninety-Five
A fragment of the days gone by captured on a screen
Thanks to him, my life plays back through melodic memories
What I'd give for one more chance to hear him sing it live
Like on the tape from July Eighth, Nineteen Ninety-Five
Standing there, his guitar in hand, a little voice chimed in to say
"Dad, I wanna hear Little Black Pony," a request he was glad to play
What I'd give for one more chance to hear him sing it live
Like on the tape from July Eighth, Nineteen Ninety-Five
Give me a day like July Eighth, Nineteen Ninety-Five
