| Lyrics: | (Ibbotson)
Played a wedding for the money, and I wish I could've told the bride and
groom
just what I think of marriage, what's in store after the honeymoon.
I was rumbling
through the verses 'bout how men and women ought to live apart,
how the promise never made
cannot be broken and can never break a heart.
Suddenly from out of nowhere this little girl
came spinning across the floor,
her crinolines were billowing beneath the skirt of calico she
wore.
As her joy fell on the honored guests, each one of them was drawn into her dream,
and
they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands and hollered at her "dance little
Jean!"
And they said dance little Jean, this day is for you.
Two people that you love
stood up to say I do.
Dance little Jean, a prayer that you had was answered today, your mom is
marrying your dad.
Well, the cynic's heart just melted as I figure what this gift together
meant
And how it ended years of tears and sad confusion that the little girl had spent.
They
told the band to pack it up about the time the couple cut the cake,
but we stayed and we played
all night long for love and laughs and little Jeannie Sage.
We played dance little Jean,
this day is for you. Two people that you love stood up to say I do.
And they said dance
little Jean, this day is for you.
Two people that you love stood up to say I do.
Dance
little Jean, a prayer that you had was answered today, your mom is marrying your dad.
And
they said dance little Jean, this day is for you.
Two people that you love stood up to say I
do.
Dance little Jean, a prayer that you had was answered today, your mom is marrying your dad. |
