about

Truly the heart of the album named for it, this song reveals how being in a special place and time for vacation helps transform us as a family and as people. We set the music to a doo-wop sound because that was the style of music playing when we arrived at Widlwood, NJ's Lollipop Motel that very first time and we fell in love with our summer vacation surroundings and the special sense of living in the moment they brought us.

lyrics

Lollipop Motel
(c) 2015, Lyrics by Amy and Jason Didner, Music by Jason Didner


Verse 1:
That look on your face was priceless
When we pulled into the lot
It made every mile worth it
From our home all the way to that spot

'Cause you fell in love with the picture
Of that place with the colorful doors
Every child deserves a happy place
I believe this is one of yours

Chorus:
In a childhood full of moments
This is one you'll remember well
That moment when we first arrived
At the Lollipop Motel

Verse 2:
There was doo-wop playing by the pool
It was like walking on the set
Of a movie from a simpler time
When there were no cell phones yet

When we weren’t so distracted
From the living here and now
We just threw ourselves at a world of play
Now I’m just relearning how

Chorus:
In a lifetime full of moments
This is one I'll remember well
Years later just like yesterday
At the Lollipop Motel

Bridge:
We always loved the seashore
The boardwalk and the rides
To see your smile come round our way
Just fills us up inside

Chorus:
In a lifetime full of moments
These are ones we'll remember well
Years later just like yesterday
At the Lollipop Motel
Years later just like yesterday
At the Lollipop Motel
