Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, let’s take a trip back in time,
To the year when the world spun like a rhyme,
In the midst of dreams and hopes so high,
It was 1961, oh my, oh my.

[VERSE 1]
Kennedy's smiling, the Oval Office glow,
A new leader rising, letting progress flow,
While on the big screen, in a dance of life,
West Side Story played, love mixed with strife.

[CHORUS]
So come on now, hear the stories unfold,
From a brighter past, in memories gold,
Magic in the air, love and laughter,
In the year '61, we're ever after.

[VERSE 2]
Ray Charles sang, “Hit the road, Jack,”
Rhythms and blues, no looking back,
And Audrey shined, in Tiffany's delight,
Charming the world, in the soft city light.

[CHORUS]
So come on now, hear the stories unfold,
From a brighter past, in memories gold,
Magic in the air, love and laughter,
In the year '61, we're ever after.

[BRIDGE]
Oh, Paul Newman hustling, Jackie Gleason too,
A game of life played with passion and blues,
While Andy and Opie shared their days,
In the small town charm, in so many ways.

[VERSE 3]
Spencer Tracy on stages, giving us grace,
Times shifting and changing, yet we find our place,
As the world keeps turning, the stories remain,
In the heart of history, joy, and pain.

[CHORUS]
So come on now, hear the stories unfold,
From a brighter past, in memories gold,
Magic in the air, love and laughter,
In the year '61, we're ever after.

[OUTRO]
So let’s hold onto the echoes of yore,
Through the films, the music, and so much more,
In the glow of the past, we find our way,
In the memories of '61, we still play.
Oh yes, we still play.
