Lyrics

1964
[Verse 1]
we gathered 'round the tv on a saturday night
watching the hockey game , waiting for the fights
it was the only entertainment of the year
we came together as a family right there

[verse 2]
my parents each had their own easy chairs
on the sofa, my siblings all lined up in pairs
sometimes I'd lay on the floor, a little too close
wwatching in silence like we were comatose.

[chorus]
the new tv came into the living room
impatient for the box set to warm up soon
then wiggled the antenna to make it clear
when I was a kid, the best times of the year

[verse 3]
we lived out in the country, minimal reception
dad got a big antenna for picture perfection
the black and white picture came in much clearer
but we all wished the picture could be whole lot bigger

[verse 4]
on sunday night we would do the chores fast
started to watch the Ed Sullivan broadcast
i remember the comedians and musical groups
the jugglers and dancers and animal troops.

[verse 5]
it was 1964.and I watched The Beatles , the Fab Four,
right there on my living room floor
She Loves Me, yeah yeah yeah
Who could ask for anything more?
