It started with a melody, soft on the radio And suddenly I was back where the memories grow Mama’s voice in the kitchen, Daddy’s laugh in the air And that old brown couch where we used to share The fabric was faded, but it held us tight Through stories, through heartaches, through every night Now the house has a new name on the door But in my heart, it’s still ours forevermore Oh, one song took me home tonight Back to the place where the world felt right Where love was simple, time stood still And the echoes of laughter linger still I close my eyes, and there I go Oh, one song took me home The couch is gone, the years rolled by But the past still lives when I close my eyes Every note brings back the love we knew A melody framed in the dust of youth I can’t walk those halls, can’t turn that key But the song still opens the door for me No matter how far, no matter how long Home is a place inside a song Oh, one song took me home tonight Back to the place where the world felt right Where love was simple, time stood still And the echoes of laughter linger still I close my eyes, and there I go Oh, one song took me home Faded pictures, whispers low Love never leaves, that much I know So play that song, let the memories roam One song still takes me home
