Parents Lyrics
Chris Difford
1
They danced together
On vinyl and on stone
That secret moment
That held them both together
That was their life exciting without vogue
Dancing like babies on two elastic bands in the night
Oh how they danced
Oh how they cried
They got so many dreams
2
The record player
Span underneath the lampshade
The Mantovani
Trickled through the amp
Those velvet shoulders
Glided in thin air
Smoking Bachelors drinking from thе bottles on the shelf
Oh how thеy danced
Oh how they cried
They got so many dreams
Oh how they sent me to bed
Oh how they played with my games
They got so many dreams
3
They flew away like paper in the wind
Life is too short to mess around with anything in love
Life is too short to mess around with anything in love
Oh how they danced
Oh how they cried
They got so many dreams
Silence is ours
Each image that fades
Returns like a moon
My children look on
As I’m looking back
They see in my eyes
Oh how he dances
Oh he cries
He’s got so many dreams in his eyes
