Here it is, just another lonely night
Not an awful lot to do
But get out the old home movies
And take another look at you
Switch on some of my movies
Light up all of my dreams
And then I'll watch my life come tumbling down
Up on the silver screen

There she is reaching out to touch you
And that's you touching back again
Well it ain't no fun to watch old home movies
Knowing how the story ends

I think I'll have another look at your birthday
People stepping out to dance
And here's a scene where they're raising a champagne toast
To you and your fine romance
I figured they were talking about you and me
But the pictures plainly show
You had your eye on another girl
And I was the last to know

And there she is reaching out to touch you
And that's you touching back again
Well it ain't no fun to watch old home movies
Knowing how the story ends
Here's another scene from a party
Everybody having fun
Well, look at you, hanging on to what's-her-name
As if she were the only one
And this is you and her laughing and singing
And that's me walking out the door
And you probably noticed in the last few scenes
That I'm not around anymore

There she is reaching out to touch you
And that's you touching back again
Well it ain't no fun to watch old home movies
Knowing how the story ends
