lyrics

In the attic we found a photograph
Of Mom and Dad on their wedding night
My sister said “don’t they both look so beautiful?”
I said “I cannot imagine a more perfect night”

I could smell the spray Mom put in her hair
There was music and laughter everywhere
When she asked him if he’d always be true
Dad said I do

How was he not terrified of commitment
How could he know with such certainty she was the one

You could smell the magic in the air
There were friends and family everywhere
When she asked him if he’d always be true
Dad said I do

Wasn’t he constantly fearing abandonment
Can’t you give me a sign Dad - is she the one?

In the morning when I walk down the aisle
I’m going to take the same picture with the same smile
When she asks me if I’ll always be true
I’ll say I do
Just like you

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
